Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder
  • 1/4 cup prune purée
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cold water 

 

Prune Purée

  • 1 1/3 cups (about 8 oz) Sunsweet® Pitted Prunes
  • 6 Tbsp hot water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly butter an 8x-inch loaf pan.

 

To prepare prune purée, place prunes and water in a food processor and process until puréed.

 

Whisk together flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, espresso powder and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the prune purée, oil, vinegar and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a stiff batter forms. Pour water over the top and stir completely to combine.

 

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
