Directions
Be sure the starter is warm and very active.
Cream the shortening and sugar, add eggs one at a time, beating well.
Add starter and buttermilk ( be nice and gentle with the starter).
Sift and add dry ingredients, prunes and nuts.
Bake at 350℉ (180℃) for abut 40 minutes in a well greased and floured cake tin (pan) about 9 x 13.
NOTE: orange cream cheese icing is good on this.
Use Dates instead of prunes.
Can make 2½ dosen cupcakes instead of cake but bake them only about 25 minutes.
