Ingredients
- 100 gm Prunes, pitted
- 3/4 c. Apple juice
- 1/4 tsp Bicarb. soda
- 1 c. Flour, self raising
- 1/2 c. Cocoa pwdr
- 4 x Egg whites
- 1/2 c. Caster sugar
- 2 tsp Icing sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 160C and line a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper.
- Place prunes, apple juice and bicarb soda in a saucepan, bring to the boil, turn off heat, cover and leave to cold. Once cold, puree till smooth.
- Sift the self-raising flour and cocoa and stir into the cooled prune puree.
- Beat egg whites till stiff, adding sugar gradually. Fold half the egg whites into the prune mix then mix in the remaining egg whites. Spoon into the cake tin and bake for 35 min or possibly till a cake skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cold and, just before serving, sieve icing sugar over the top.
- Serve with a coulis made from pureed raspberries (buy them frzn and thaw). Puree with some apple juice for coulis. Or possibly with low-fat ice cream or possibly low-fat fruche.
- This is nothing like mud cake, but mud cake has 80g of fat per serve and this has only 1g of fat per serve, and it does satisfy your craving for chocolate cake.

June 14, 2010This recipe did not work at all.....When I added the flour/cocoa to the prune puree it was very dry and lumpy....and not like a cake batter should be....so I added a bit of water to make it into a workable batter before folding in the egg whites. However the end result after baking was atrocious it being only about an inch high and tough on the outside and unrisen and like glue on the inside...absolutely hopeless recipe.... I don't know if anyone actually tested the recipe before publishing it.
