Maggie's Prune Cake (untested)

This recipe is written in Grammy's handwriting and is attributed to her aunt, Maggie Munce Hansen (sister of Grammy's father, William Munce).

The sour milk ingredient in this recipe was common in recipe in the early 20th century. It was a way to use milk that had gone sour and not waste it. To "artificially" sour milk, add vinegar to it (e.g., 1 tablespoon of vinegar added to 2 cups of milk).
