Muffins, Cakes, and Brownies 4
Carob-Prune Cake
1 c. date pieces 1 tsp. Roma
1 c. honey 1 tsp. Kitchen Bouquet
¾ c. hot water 2 ¼ c. whole wheat pastry flour
½ c. soft pitted prunes (10) 2 Tbsp. Ener-G baking powder
½ c. applesauce ¾ tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. vanilla ½ c. water
½ c. carob powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare cake pans. Blend together the dates, honey,
hot water, applesauce, and prunes, then add vanilla, carob powder, Roma and Kitchen
Bouquet. In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add the blended
mixture (and remaining half cup water, if needed) and beat with electric mixer about
one minute, or longer if by hand. Batter should be soft but stiff enough to hold its
shape. Stir baking powder into the mix and pour immediately into 2-8” cake pans or a
sheet pan (or bundt pan) and bake for 25-35 minutes. Cool on racks, and frost with
Carob Frosting. For a layer cake, use Coconut-Pecan Filling between layers.
