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.
