Mother cheats! She did not give me any mixing directions, so here goes from memory.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together sugar, flour, soda, allspice, and cinnamon. Mix in cooking oil, plum baby food and buttermilk, then add eggs one at a time while mixing. Mix on medium about 2 minutes. Hand blend in the pecan pieces. This is a heavy batter. Pour into a greased 13" x 9" oven proof pan or dish.

Bake in a 325 degree oven for 40 minutes.

Mix all ingredients for frosting in a 1 1/2 - 2 quart saucepan. Bring to a boil on medium heat. Pour frosting over cooked pudding.

This is a moist pudding that is plum delicious! A staple for holiday meals.
