CHOCOLATE PLUM PUDDING CAKE
This is a bit of an unusual cake, but great for Christmas. The chocolate mixed with raisins, applesauce, and spices gives a nice texture with a lot less work than plum pudding itself.

CHOCOLATE PLUM PUDDING
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 9x9-inch baking pan. Mix first 3 ingredients in small bowl. Stir prunes, sugar, eggs, chocolate, oil and vanilla to blend in large bowl. Mix in flour mixture. Transfer to prepared pan. Bake until pudding is set and slightly puffed at edges, about 25 minutes. Immediately cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for the best flavor. - Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough pudding. - If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. - Make sure the pudding is completely cool before serving, as this will allow the flavors to meld together. - Serve the pudding with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries for a decadent dessert.Conclusion:
