How to Make Virtually Fat Free Chocolate Cake

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup pitted prunes, 1 cup apple juice concentrate, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat, cover, and let cool completely.
  2. Once cooled, transfer the prune mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the prune puree, mixing until just combined.
  4. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gradually add ¾ cup granulated sugar, beating until dissolved and glossy.
  5. Gently fold the meringue into the prune mixture until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.
