This is a recipe from my childhood that I got in 4-H Club. Geeze, it is is at least fifty years old. I can see myself with my little apron on getting this recipe out of the cabnet drawer to make this cake in my mind’s eye. Remember the Youngstown white enamel cabnets?
It was made quite often and the family liked it. This was one way my sister and I ate prunes!!!
