unknown


List of Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons instant cappuccino powder (NOT coffee)
1 cup boiling water
4 jars baby prunes (pureed, 2 1/2 oz each)
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 large egg whites
1 cup skim milk


Recipe

Preheat oven 350ºF. Spray 2 cake pans with PAM and dust with flour; set aside. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside. Steep the cappuccino powder in the boiling water; set aside to cool a bit. Mix together the prunes, vanilla, egg whites and skim milk. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Divide between the three pans. Bake 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Let cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen. Turn out onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting. Split each layer in two (to form a 4-layer cake).


FROSTING:
3 Tbs. instant Cappuccino powder (NOT coffee)
1/4 cup water (boiling)
1-1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
3 large egg whites
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. vanilla

Steep the cappuccino powder in the boiling water; set aside to cool a bit. Place all ingredients into a large bowl (heat-proof) and set it over a pan of boiling water (not touching the bowl). Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the mixture until it forms soft peaks. Frost between the layers of the cake, then the top and sides.
