This was the base to a German Chocolate Cake. While it says Vegan in the egg replacer, any egg replacer [powder] will work.
If someone can't have eggs it makes an excellent cake
Ingredients:
3/4 cup pitted prunes
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons vegan egg replacer powder
1/2 cup water
2 cups sugar
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup soymilk
2 teaspoons white vinegar
Procedure:
1. Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In food processor or blender, chop prunes. With motor running, add water. Puree,
stopping to scrape sides, until mixture resembles smooth paste, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl of mixer.
2. In separate bowl, combine Egg Replacer with water, mixing with whisk until smooth. Add to prude puree m mixer bowl,
mixing at medium speed until smooth and fluffy. While beating, gradually add sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
3. In seperate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In small bowl, combine soymilk
and vinegar. Stir to mix. Let sit a few minutes until clabbered.
4. Add flour-cocoa mixture to prune-sugar mixture alternately with soymilk, beating constantly until batter is light
and fluffy. Scrape bottom of bowl several times.
5. Divide batter among three 9-inch cake pans that have been sprayed with PAM or Olivio and their bottoms lined with
waxed paper. Bake until cake springs back when touched in center and wooden pick inserted comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and place pans on cooling racks. Run spatula carefully around edge. Let cake cool in pans until
room temperature, about 20 minutes.
7. Notes: Just began trying the purees in place of the pitted prunes. An example of Egg Replacer Powder is called EnerG.
