    My mother also baked a version of this cake for every holiday dinner. (Her recipe called for Black Walnuts.) With such a large family, she always had to make several of them, plus one just for my sister's birthday. This is a great recipe and the longer you can let the cake sit, the better it gets!!

    OH WOW, this sounds just like the Prune Cake my friend's mom sent to her while our families were stationed in Japan. It was so incrediably moist and yummie. Wish I could give you more then 5 on this one, can hardly wait to make this. Hopefully tomorrow or for the weekend. Thank you GF for the great post, I really appreciate this one a lot. God Bless
