Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups water

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup prune puree

1/4 cup canola oil

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour

1 cup unbleached white flour

1 cup cocoa powder

1 cup sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

cooking spray or oil

Frosting:

2/3 cup raw cashews

1/3 cup water

12 ounces lite silken tofu, extra-firm

2/3 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray or oil 2 8-inch round cake pans.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together water, syrup, prune puree, oil, and

vanilla.

 

In a separate bowl, whisk together flours, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking

soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture. With an electric mixer on

medium speed, beat for 3 minutes, until fluffy.

 

Pour batter into prepared cake pans. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until a

toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool 5

minutes in the pans.

 

Invert cakes onto cooling rack, remove pans, and allow to cool completely.

 

In a food processor or blender, puree cashews and water until creamy. Add tofu,

sugar, melted chocolate, and vanilla, and blend until smooth. Chill to

spreading consistency, about 1 hour.

 

Use a serrated knife to split each cake layer into 2 thin rounds. Place one

round on a serving plate and spread with a thin layer of frosting. Place

another round on top and spread with frosting. Repeat with remaining rounds.

Spread remaining frosting around sides of cake.
