- GRANNY'S CHOCOLATE MARBLE CAKE
- 2 cups all-purpose
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 4 Tbs. instant Cappuccino powder (NOT coffee)
- 1 cup water (boiling)
- 4 (2-1/2 oz) jars baby prunes (pureed) or
- 1 cup prunes mixed with water to make 10 ounces of puree
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup skim milk
- Preheat oven 350 degrees.
- Spray 2 cake pans with PAM and dust with flour; set aside.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set
- aside.
- Steep the cappuccino powder in the boiling water; set aside to cool a bit.
- Mix together the prunes, vanilla, egg whites and skim milk. Add to the
- dry ingredients and mix well. Divide between the three pans.
- Bake 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of each
- cake comes out clean. Let cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run
- a knife around the edges to loosen. Turn out onto wire racks to cool
- completely before frosting. Split each layer in two (to form a 4-layer
- cake).

- 1/4 cup water (boiling)
- 1-1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- Steep the cappuccino powder in the boiling water; set aside to cool a
- bit. Place all ingredients into a large bowl (heat-proof) and set it
- over a pan of BOILING water (not touching the bowl). Using a hand-held
- electric mixer, beat the mixture until it forms soft peaks. Frost
- between the layers of the cake, then the top and sides.
