Step 1
Heat oven to 375 degrees; 350 degrees if using a glass baking dish. Prepare three 9-inch layer pans (or single sheet pan) as suggested on this page; set aside.
Place prunes in food processor and chop; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift or stir together flour, salt, mace, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of the baking soda; set aside. Cream butter; add sugar and cream until light-colored and fluffy. Add eggs and mix well. Add prunes and mix.
In a bowl, combine coffee with remaining soda. Alternately add dry ingredients and coffee mixture to creamed mixture; stirring well between each addition.
Pour into prepared pans and bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, until centers spring back when lightly touched and toothpick inserted into center emerges clean. Cool and frost as desired.
