Frost with Coffee Butter Frosting. *To make prune pulp: Place prunes in a saucepan; cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and boil briskly for 1 hour or until the prunes are very soft. Remove the pit and cut up, or beat with a mixer unit small pieces.

Personal Notes:
If I had to have cake for my birthday, the only one I wanted was my mother's prune cake. Pete felt the same. Anne wanted brownies and butterscotch sauce, but the prune cake was high on her list.
