Chocolate Prune Cake (Vegan, Wheat & Gluten Free option)

This makes a very yummy, moist chocolate cake that gets better with a few days ageing! The moisture from the tinned prunes make this a really special recipe, so don't be put off if you've never eaten prines before - prunes are not just for the elderly or constipated, plus you can't really taste them in this cake anyway. I don't have a photo of this one at the moment because it always disappears too quickly for me to take one...😁 Get yourself ready for real treat! Ingredients 1 x 425g tin of prunes 125g vegetable fat suitable for baking 225g sugar 2 tablespoons milled flaxseed 6 tablespoons water 8 oz self raising flour (for wheat and gluten free, replace with 8oz gram flour + 2 teaspoons of baking powder) 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 oz cocoa powder ½ teaspoon ground clove Method Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350F Grease and line a 20x15cm (8x6”) square tin with greaseproof paper Drain the tinned prunes, saving the liquid
