1/3 cup pitted prunes
1/3 cup hot water
1 1/4 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted.
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 egg whites
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
Place prunes and hot water in a blender or food processor and soak for 5 minutes or until plump. Process into a paste and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray and sprinkle lightly with flour. In medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
In large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, egg whites, oil and vanilla. Mix until smooth using an electric mixer or a spoon. Add prune puree and mix well. Add flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and beat until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out moist but not wet. Cool on wire rack for 1 hour before cutting into pieces.
