Chocolate Marble Cake
Ingredients
2 C. all-purpose
1 C. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. instant Cappuccino powder (NOT coffee)
1 C. water (boiling)
Four 2-1/2 ounce jars baby prunes (pureed)
2 tsp. vanilla
4 large egg whites
1 C. skim milk
Frosting:
3 Tbsp. instant Cappuccino powder (NOT coffee)
1/4 C. water (boiling)
1-1/2 C. brown sugar, firmly packed
3 large egg whites
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. vanilla
Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven 350 degrees. Spray 2 cake pans with cooking spray 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). Frosting: Steep the cappuccino powder in the boiling water; set aside to cool a bit. Place all ingredients into a large bowl (heatproof) 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.
