Since I have not posted a recipe lately, here is a good one. It is an easy, moist cake that my late mother-in-law Sarah (aka: Mimi) made often. Mimi was also known as "The Best Chicken Fryer in the State of Alabama" so that should tell you something. This recipe will be in my cookbook which will, hopefully, be available the end of 2010. Enjoy!!!
Mimi's Plum Cake
2 Cups self-rising flour
2 Cups sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 Cup oil
1 T. cinnamon
1 T. vanilla
2 jars of baby food plums (yes, baby food!) ***
1 Cup chopped pecans
Mix flour, sugar and cinnamon in large mixing bowl. Add eggs and oil and mix well. Add vanilla, plums and nuts. Mix well and pour into a 8 X 8 greased square pan. Bake at 325 degrees for about an hour. Check for doneness. Poke holes all over the top of the cake with a toothpick.
*** My mom could not find baby food plums but did find baby food apples and plums. She said it turned out yummy.
Glaze:
1 Cup powdered sugar
1/4 Cup red wine
Blend until smooth. Pour over hot cake.
I'm so glad to finally have this recipe, its been at least 20 years since I've had this tasty tasty cake, thank you...
