I live in an area where prunes are the main crop. And since my state is known for its apples, I feel this cake recipe really represents my region.

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups canola oil
3 large eggs
2 cups shredded peeled apples
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups pitted dried plums, chopped
1 package (12 ounces) dried pitted plums, chopped
1 cup chopped nuts
Confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, beat sugar, oil and eggs for 2 minutes at medium speed; blend in apples. Combine dry ingredients; gradually beat into egg mixture. Stir in plums and nuts. Spoon into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan.
Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes; invert onto wire rack to cool.
Just before serving, dust cake with confectioners' sugar.
