Easy Christmas Cake

3/4 cup margarine or butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 jar junior prunes baby food (3 oz.)
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup chopped pecans, opt.

Directions

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time. Sift dry ingredients together. Add dry ingredients alternately with liquid ones. Beat well, then add pecans. Bake at 375 degrees F for 1 hour.

Note: This will bake in any kind of pan. Looks great when baked in salad molds. Keeps well and freezes beautifully!

Wonder if you can substitute something else for the prune juice....orange juice, for instance?
