Prune cake..at first I must admit I turned my nose up when my mom made this. However, after the first bite, I was sold. This moist cake with the sweet glaze on top practically melted in my mouth. I was going back for seconds before I finished my first piece!

Fry Fam’S TIPS
- Raisins work really good with this cake too, instead of prunes, and it makes the prep work a lot easier. I personally like the prunes the best though 🙂
- I find that this cake is best served slightly chilled, however, it can also be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
