Ingredients
- 1 9 oz bag Sunsweet® Pitted Prunes, chopped
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup heart-healthy buttery spread (such as Smart Balance®), softened
- 1/2 cup fat-free milk
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- melted raspberry jam and warmed chocolate fudge sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bring prunes and water to a boil in a small saucepan; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is very thick and liquid has been absorbed; let cool.
Spray a 9 inch springform pan liberally with nonstick cooking spray then coat with 2 Tbsp sugar, shaking out excess.
Beat together remaining sugar, buttery spread, milk, extract, egg whites and prunes in a medium bowl for 3 minutes on high speed with an electric mixer. Beat in dry ingredients on low speed, then beat for a few minutes on high to make a light batter. Spread in prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. To serve, drizzle serving plates with a little melted jam, add slice of cake and drizzle with chocolate.
