Cooking Steps

Preheat oven to 350F and grease a cookie sheet.
In a bowl combine all dry ingredients and set aside. In a separate bowl combine all wet ingredients and mix with a handmixer until fluffy. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Spread the dough onto the entire cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and cover the cake with the prunes. Be sure to put the skin side down, otherwise the juices will soak into the dough and turn the cake into mush.
Bake the cake for about 40 minutes, turn the oven off, open the door a bit and leave the cake in for another 10 minutes or so. It’s best if you let the cake cool a bit before you eat it. It tends to fall apart when it’s very warm. Everyone in my German/American family quite enjoyed this yummy treat!!
