Cut the prunes into pieces the size of olives.Toss with the walnuts and set aside.Sift the flour with the baking powder,cinnamon,nutmeg,allspice, ginger and expresso.Set aside... Beat the butter until soft.Add the sugars and beat until light and fluffy,about 5 minutes.Add the eggs,one at a time,scraping the bowl as necessary to keep the mixture smooth.Beat in the vanilla and sweet potatoes... Add the sifted dry ingredients in three additions,alternating with the milk in two additions.Beat just enough to make the batter smooth.Stir in the prunes and walnuts... Turn the batter into a 10" greased and floured tube pan,mounding the batter slightly higher at the edges of the pan.This is to keep the cake from rising to high in the center....... Bake in a preheated 300 deg.oven for 1 1/2 hours,or until a tester comes out with just a crumb clinging to it.Cool in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes.Remove from pan and cool until room temperature before slicing.Slice with a serrated knife..Makes 14 to 16 servings.... ~----Irwin E. 10:43 AM FOOD AND WINE CLUB TOPIC: FOOD SOFTWARE TIME: 10/30 8:02 AM TO: ALL FROM: IRWIN SOLOMON (JJGF65A) SUBJECT: PHILLY.BAKERY 2 R-M From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
