This is very good and moist!! I found this recipe in McCall magazine in 1982, the paper is very worn and faded, so glad I did a search on it. Over the years I have altered it with reduced fat sour cream, and lite butter, even with the sugar I use PART Splenda , and Splenda brown sugar. Helps cut the fat and calorie intake. Can use raisins if you are not fond of prunes.

An absolutely delicious, moist coffee cake. Although I had prunes on hand, I didn't have apricots so substituted chopped mixed dried fruit. I doubled the recipe also as I wanted to make one cake for us and one to take to work. Neither of these affected the finished product and I got rave reviews on both fronts!
