Hi Mona, Hmmmm, “prune kuchans” – is that some kind of pastry? It sounds like a German kuchen, or coffee cake. I wonder if a plum cake would be close? If so, I have a great one that I think you’ll like: Fragrant Plum Cake When baking, this cake filled the house with smells that promised a treat. Prep time: 15 minutes Baking time: 40 minutes Serves 12 2 cups self-rising flour 2 cups granulated sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 (6-ounce) jars baby food plums and apples 1 cup vegetable oil 3 large eggs 3 tablespoons drained canned plums, chopped 2 tablespoons butter, softened 1 (16-ounce) package confectioners' sugar 1 teaspoon grated orange zest 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. 2. For cake, combine flour, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl and mix well. 3. Add the baby food plums and apples, vegetable oil and eggs to the flour mixture and beat with an electric mixer set at medium speed until blended. Spoon into a nonstick 13 x 9-inch baking pan. 4. Bake cake until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack. 5. For frosting, mix the canned plums and butter in a large bowl. Add half of the confectioners’ sugar and mix well. Add the remaining confectioners’ sugar and mix well. Stir in orange zest. Spread frosting over cooled cake. Grandma's Secret Tip If she didn’t have baby food plums and apples, Grandma could still make a fantastic cake with one of her ingenious substitutions. She cooked 1 cup prunes in water until they were very soft, then she drained and mashed them and used them in place of the baby food. Or she used 1 cup seedless blackberry jam instead of the baby food.
