Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1 cup oil
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp allspice
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup buttermilk

- 1 TBSP white Karo syrup
Instructions
For the Cake
- Combine oil, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, allspice, vanilla, nutmeg, buttermilk, flour, nuts, salt, baking soda, and prunes.
For the Glaze
- Mix sugar, baking soda, margarine, buttermilk and syrup in saucepan and cook until margarine melts and the mixture boils and changes color to a darkish brown and forms a very soft ball. When cake comes out of the oven, turn out on a plate, prick with a fork and pour glaze over the warm cake.
- Pour into an oiled and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350F (180C) for 45 minutes.
- Dust with toasted sliced almonds if you wish. You can also use a fresh, homemade whipped cream frosting rather than a glaze - a Vasey family favorite!
