I thought this would probably be pretty good...you know, fair to modereate...but it really surprised me at how good it is! The prunes and pumpkin compliment each other wonderfully and it has just enough spice to have a nice flavor but not taste like gingerbread or spice cake. It is very tender- which is nice considering the amount of butter is so small. I made a couple subs- I used Sucanat rather than sugar, organic butter rather than margarine, soymilk instead of milk and whole wheat pastry flour instead of flour. Turned out great. BF and I ate the whole thing in 2 days- great breakfast or midnight snack, I can tell you that for a fact. ;) I didn't ice this, but I think it would be tasty that way as well. Thanks!
