Combine oil, sugar, and spices. Then, add eggs one at a time while mixing. Carefully add soda and buttermilk alternating with flour. Add prunes and nuts. Oil and flour two loaf pans, then pour in the batter. Cook 40-45 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

Glaze

1 cup sugar
1/2 c. buttermilk
1/4 t. baking soda

Boil the ingredients for 5 minutes until sugar is totally dissolved. Pour glaze over the cooled cake while it is still in the pan. Once the cakes are cooled run a knife around the edges and turn the cakes over on a platter.
