Step 1: Boil the Dried Fruits - In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup each of raisins, cranberries, and prunes, along with 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of molasses, and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for 3-4 minutes until the fruits soften. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for 45 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Cake Batter - In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat 2 eggs and set aside. In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Once the fruit mixture has cooled, fold it into the flour mixture along with the beaten eggs and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans. Mix until just combined.

Step 3: Bake the Cake - Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Grease a 7-8 inch round cake pan thoroughly. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 75-90 minutes, checking for doneness at the 50-minute mark.
