Awesome Fenella, so glad you got to use up that old tin of dates:-)

Thank you Lesley, it is a lovely cake:-)

Ooh, great idea, that sounds lush! Glad you like the recipe:-)

Great recipe. I adapted it slightly by adding some ground almonds that needed using up, with a teaspoon of baking powder. And then swapped the vanilla for almond essence. Delicious. Flavour reminded me of lebkuchen

Excellent, so glad you all like it:-)

Thanks Sepi, I’m sure you’ll love it:-)

Thanks Stevie, I hope you get to try it:-)

I can’t wait to try making this cake. Just everything about this recipe is very inviting. Thank you for sharing.

This is a great idea to use prunes. The recipes look lovely. I’d like to try the traybake out.

Great Debbie, do let me know what you think if you make it:-)

Thanks Dom, it is a fab cake:-)

adore prunes and this looks great, so simple and so good! Thanks for the link too xxx

Looks to good to eat

Thank you so much, it is a lush cake:-)

I love prunes-the sweet tangy flavor. This cake sounds delicious with allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon. And the icing looks so good!

Thank you Colleen, yes they do get forgotten about – time for them to shine:-)

Prunes are an ingredient that I have never really thought of using, but they look scrumptious in this beautiful cake! I need to get some prunes and try baking with them.

Thank you Kate:-)

Thanks Janice, yes soaked prunes would be just as good or some dried prunes are quite moist these days, had some at my mum’s the other day:-)

Excellent Gill, enjoy:-)

This recipe looks fab and I love prunes. This will be fab for packed lunches will def make it this wknd.

ooh, I really love prunes. I don’t often have a tin of them, but I’m sure I could adapt your recipe to use soaked dried prunes. Thanks for including a link to my California Prune Energy Bars.

This cake looks so good! That icing looks so inviting…I wish I could try a piece right now!

Thanks Ceri. Prunes are a bit overlooked aren’t they, lets hope that changes:-)

I really like prunes. Which I know is not that sexy. Why do dates get all the glory?? I’ve used them for brownies before, but love the idea of this tray bake. lovely

Thanks Margaret, hope you get a chance to make it:-)

Quick easy and delicious – always stuck for prune recipes

Thanks Yolanda:-)

Thanks Amy, it is a yummy cake and perfect with a cuppa-)

Thanks Gloria, I hadn’t realised you were from Canada, had assumed the States! Yes traybake can be a savoury meal across the pond can’t it – difficult to keep up sometimes with all our different terms:-)

Thanks Choclette, yes grinding my own cinnamon made the flavour far more intense I think:-)

Thanks Sarah, they’re not overpowering in this cake so I think you’d be fine:-)

Thanks Jacs-)

It looks fab with that drippy icing. Yep, the icing did it for me. Shared!

Yes lots of old dishes, even ones I didn’t like as a kid, keep popping into my head-)

I love revisiting desserts that I enjoyed as a kid. I haven’t had a prune dessert before, but it sounds like good comfort food.

This sounds really nice, i’m not a big lover of prunes but know they are good for you so be nice to try this

Thanks for sharing one of my links 🙂

What a delicious looking cake with wonderful flavors! I think prunes are super tasty and would love to have a piece of this to snack on in the afternoons. Sounds delightful!

You know, I don’t even remember EVER baking with prunes!! This does sound delicious….and I love the term “traybake”. Being in Canada I had to think for a minute what you were referring to. The flavours sound wonderful….and I would even serve this as brunch item too.

Thank you Leila, they add a lovely warmth:-)

Cinnamon and nutmeg are a brilliant addition. Looks really delicious

Thanks Maya, I just used a dessert spoon and drizzled from a height.

Prunes and custard are fab aren’t they:-) Maybe a prunes and custard cake should become thing:-)
