Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder, plus 1 tsp for dusting
  • 1 cup prunes, pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup hot coffee
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9″ square cake pan with cooking spray. Dust with 1 tsp cocoa. Set aside. Combine prunes and coffee in a bowl. Set aside to cool. Combine remaining 1/3 cup cocoa, flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large resealable plastic bag; shake. Add sugar, applesauce, egg white and 1 tsp of the vanilla to coffee-prune mixture. Empty bag into bowl; mix. Pour into prepared pan.
