Prune Cake, less sugar, more delicious!

This is my mission, ^ ^, I got this request and after reading it, I wanted to make it so badly. It's not a hard thing to make prune cake, but it's not the simple, because this one has to be low sugar.

The one who wrote the e-mail for me said that she really want to make the prune cake with less sugar because her mom love to eat prune cake but the only problem is she has a diabetic >*<. So, I start by reading many recipes possible but I just couldn't find the right one, some are good but not good enough so I decided to create the recipe by myself. The main point of this cake is the prune cake that contain as little sugar as possible, but when reduce the amount of the sugar from the recipe, it can make the cake too dry and crumble, so I add a small portion of the sour cream to balance it. By plumping up the prune before putting it in the cake prevent the cake to become dry from the dried fruit. I choose to use the basic quick bread method to making this cake because it's easy and better way to use with oil. The result is very good, the cake is not too sweet, soft and moist. Even you think that prune cake can't be less sweet because of the sweetness of the prune, you will be wrong. I hope that this cake will be good enough for anyone, having diabetic or not, you will be happy to eat this cake.
