Spicy Prune Bread

You will need:
one and a half cups sugar
two and a half cups white flour
one teaspoon salt
one teaspoon cinnamon, all spice, and nutmeg
one cup vegetable oil
three eggs, lightly beaten
two teaspoons vanilla essence
one cup buttermilk (or milk with one tsp vinegar added)
twenty-four large pitted prunes, chopped
one cup chocolate bits, sultanas - whatever you fancy
one teaspoon baking soda

More like a cake than a bread, and wonderfully easy to make. Mix all the ingredients, in order, into a bowl. Pour it into a greased ring or loaf tin, and bake in a pre-heated oven at 170 C. A ring tin will take 50 minutes, a loaf tin 60 minutes. Test with a skewer.
