How can you NOT try a cake with “De Luxe” in its name? There is no shortage of prune cake recipes in the Hawai'i cookbooks of this era, and based on the results of this one recipe, I can see why. It is fluffy, moist, and subtly prune-y! The tender bits of chopped cooked prunes throughout add a delightful texture.

The name of the recipe delivers on its promise—what a fluffy, moist cake full of the flavors of ginger and molasses. I made it to kick off the autumn season and served it with a dollop of whipped cream for a little extra EXTRA.
