Fudgy Chocolate Cake

This cake is very similar to a flourless chocolate cake – rich and decadent. But this chocolate cake is healthy too, boasting 3 grams of fiber per serving and is also a good source of vitamin A and iron.

Ingredients
Fudgy Chocolate Cake
  • 1 (9 ounce) bag Sunsweet Pitted Prunes, chopped
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup heart healthy buttery spread (such as Smart Balance), softened
  • 1/2 cup fat-free milk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Melted raspberry jam and warmed chocolate fudge sauce (optional)
Instructions

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: about 40 to 45 minutes

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 tablespoons 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.
