Yum...This was so tasty! It was rich, moist and chocolatey. I was worried, since my prunes were less than smooth, and I cannot for the life of me get that egg replacer to mix thoroughly, but it worked out great. I followed the recipe to a "t" except that I used a 9x13 pan, and it baked for about 35 minutes. It was dense in the middle, but I like it that way. This is a great cake, and it would be perfect for everyone--not just vegans. Thank you so much for a yummy, low fat alternative to the usual cake.

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me.
If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer.
I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story.
