sugar until light and creamy. Beat in egg. 2. Sift dry ingredients together. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt if desired. Add prunes and nuts to dry mixture, then add this mixture to batter. Blend in applesauce. 3. Bake in a greased 9-cup Bundt pan in a 350-degree oven for 1 hour or until tests done. 4. Let cool on rack in pan for 10 minutes before turning out of pan.
Sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar. Especially pretty when sifted through a paper doily with a decorative design cut into it. I prefer to bake this in a tube pan, shorten cooking time about 5 minutes.
