Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Prune filling or lekvar
  • 1/2 cup almond or apricot filling
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup chocolate chips optional
  • Confectioner's sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.  Spray inside of 1 loaf pan with vegetable spray. Set aside.
  • Combine the first 7 dry ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well to evenly distribute ingredients.
  • Whisk the prune filling, almond or apricot filling, vanilla, egg, almond milk, espresso, and water together in a 2 quart bowl.  Whisk this mixture into the dry ingredients until blended. Add chocolate chips if using.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.  Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before inverting.  Dust with confectioner's sugar and serve.
  • Tina's Tidbits:
  • This is a perfect recipe to make with young children because it can be mixed by hand
  • When dry ingredients are mixed separately from the moist ingredients the recipe can be made in stages and perfect for children with short attention spans.
  • As long as liquid does not come in contact with the baking powder and baking soda (which will activate the leavening process) the dry ingredients can sit in a covered bowl for hours until needed.
  • This recipe could be made into two-3 mini loaves for gift giving
  • The absence of fat gives this cake a shorter shelf life so if making days in advance of gift giving, freeze air tight until needed.
