Chocolate cake with prunes
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. Chocolate and prunes go perfectly together, and in baked goods they are in perfect harmony. You can melt the chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave. Be sure to sift the flour and mix it with baking soda and baking powder before adding to the mixture. If the prunes are hard, pour boiling water over them or soak them in brandy beforehand, and let them soften. After baking and cooling, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar, or cover the top with ganache or chocolate glaze. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
