Prune Cake

• 1¾ blocks butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tsp. baking soda (dissolved with little juice)
• 3 cups cake flour
• ½ tsp. nutmeg
• ¼ tsp. cloves
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3 tsp. baking powder

Sift dry ingredients together with flour.

• 5 eggs (2½ whites for frosting, 5 yolks and 2½ whites for cake)
• 1 cup stewed and sieved prunes
• ¾ cup juice (half prune juice and half milk)

Do not mix — keep separate until mixing time.

Cream butter and sugar, add slightly beaten egg yolk and white. Add prune juice first alternately with milk and dry ingredients. Bake in two 9 inch greased and paper lined pans at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until done. Frost with boiled frosting mixed with prune pulp.
