Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened prune puree
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 unit large egg
• 0.5 cup hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round or square cake pan and line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened prune puree, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and the large egg until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender.

Step 5

Stir in the hot water slowly until the batter is smooth. The batter will be runny, but this is normal.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve as is, or top with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
