Breakfast Prune Spice Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup shortening
    2 cups white sugar
    4 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 1/3 cups buttermilk
    1 1/3 cups stewed prunes, chopped
    2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon allspice
    1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch tube pan.
    In a large bowl, mix the shortening and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and prunes. Sift the flour, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl or onto a sheet of waxed paper. Stir in the dry ingredients 1/3 at a time, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix in the walnuts if using. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
    Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the crown of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
