Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour sifted
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground gloves
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp red food coloring approx (or more)
  • 2 jars baby food (plums or other fruit like apples)

Instructions
 

  • Sift together all dry ingredients through the salt.
    2. Add the remaining ingredients and beat well.
    3. Optional (add 1 cup chopped pecans)
    4. Grease and flour pan and pour mixture in.
    5. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour.
    6. While baking, make the icing mixture of powdered sugar, lemon juice and red food coloring (until just thick enough to drizzle over hot cake)
    7. Wait just a few minutes, until cool enough to handle and flip the cake onto stand or plate and drizzle icing on top while still warm.
    *if not serving right away, wait until cake is cooled to cover, or your icing will continue to melt more as the steam will collect inside your cover.
