Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1½ cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt, and ¾ cup sugar until evenly combined.
-
Step 3.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Crack in 2 eggs, add 1 tbsp butter (melted and cooled slightly), and pour in ½ cup buttermilk. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the batter comes together and no dry streaks remain.
-
Step 4.
Fold in 1 cup chopped prunes until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Step 5.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
-
Step 6.
Let the prune bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto the rack to cool completely before slicing. Serve thick slices with butter or cream cheese.
