  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 (2.5-oz) jars prune baby food
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp chambord liqueur (raspberry-flavored liqueur) or water
  • raspberries (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.

  3. Combine cake mix, water, baby food, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed 2 minutes. Spread cake batter into prepared pan.

  5. Combine preserves and liqueur in a small bowl; stir until smooth.
