This Mess Is Ours
This easy chocolate cake recipe is possibly the easiest and most delicious cake you will ever bake! It comes together in one bowl and has less sugar and oil than other chocolate cakes too!
It's prunes!!! Because of their natural sweetness and moisture content, you can reduce sugar and even oil in most of the baking recipes you make with CA Prunes or prune puree.

Ingredients
1
Soak the finely diced prunes in boiling water to cover. Set aside. Then, preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round pans and coat the insides lightly with cocoa powder, tapping out excess.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the sugar, gluten free all purpose flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until completely combined.
3
Drain the prunes and add them to the mixing bowl as well as the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix for 2 minutes on medium speed. Scrape down the sides then stir in the boiling water with a spatula. The batter will be thin.
4
Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake for 35 minutes in the oven. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove and cool the rest of the way.
