Method
Step 1 of 4
Preheat oven to 170°C/150°C fan-forced. Grease a 13x24cm (6.5cm deep) Wiltshire Loaf Pan. Line base and sides with baking paper, extending paper 2cm above edges on all sides.
Step 2 of 4
Place prunes, sugar, butter, bicarbonate of soda, zest, juice and 1/2 cup cold water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until butter has melted. Bring to the boil. Remove from heat. Cool for 10 minutes.
Step 3 of 4
Sift flour and spice into a bowl. Add egg and prune mixture. Fold into flour mixture. Spoon into prepared pan. Smooth surface. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Step 4 of 4
Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Brush warm cake with honey. Allow to cool completely. Combine icing sugar and 1/2 tsp boiling water in a small bowl. Stir until a smooth paste forms. Spoon into piping bag fitted with a 3mm plain nozzle. Pipe a cross on top of the cake. Set aside for 30 minutes to set. Serve.
