🥮 How To Make Pioneer Woman Prune Cake

1. Set oven temperature to 300 degrees.
2. Pour water over the prunes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes or until tender and mashable. Take it off the heat, remove the water, and smash it up on a plate. Put aside.
3. Stir together the eggs, sugar, and oil. Gently combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Gently mix the dry and wet ingredients, then add the buttermilk and vanilla.
4. Stir in the mashed prunes just until combined. Avoid overmixing!
5. Put the batter into a greased 9×13 or similar baking dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Take care not to bake too long it will paddle your bottom.
6. Make the icing while the cake has 5 minutes left.
7. In a medium saucepan, combine all of the icing ingredients and let them simmer over medium heat until they reach a slow boil.
8. Allow to boil for 5 to 7 minutes without stirring, or until the icing begins to darken. Make sure the icing does not get to the softball stage; it should be the color of caramel but not sticky. It should be easy to pour icing.
9. Take the cake out of the oven and immediately cover it with icing.
10. Let it sit on the counter. Serve warm.
