Chocolate Prune Cake

Description

A dark chocolate cake with prunes. Simply delicious...

Ingredients

125 g dark cooking chocolate
100 g flour + 1 tsp
125 g butter
100 g sugar
4 eggs
6-8 moist prunes
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Powder sugar 

Instructions

Cut the prunes into cubes and roll in the flour (1 tsp flour). Melt the chocolate. Beat the butter. Beat the egg whites until foamy. Mix the melted chocolate, butter and egg yolks. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, flour and beaten egg whites. Mix all gently. Heat oven to 170C. Put the dough into a baking dish and bake about 1 hour-1 hour 20 minutes. Test for readiness by inserting a wooden stick into the cake. If the stick comes out clean, the cake is ready. Remove the cake from the oven. Allow the cake to cool and dust with powdered sugar.

Tip: You can add cherries (fresh or frozen) instead of prunes. Frozen cherries need to be defrost. Do not forget to press out an excess liquid.
