Method
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
2
Sift together 1 cup flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1½ tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar, prune purée, and 1 cup water until well combined.
4
Beat 3 large egg whites in a separate clean bowl until soft peaks form, then gently fold into the prune mixture along with 1½ tsp vanilla until just combined.
5
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just blended; do not overmix. The batter will be thin.
6
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
