prune cake

Vegetarians / vegans will love this prune cake. The cake is moist and delicious. Best of all, it does not contain any eggs nor butter/margarine.

The only "troublesome" part about this recipe is that you would need to cut the pitted prunes into small pieces. Other than this, the recipe is easy to follow and you will have your cake baking in the oven in no time.
