“My mom used to make a recipe like this when I was younger. I decided to make some healthy changes, and this version is as good, if not better than the original. Being a dietitian, I love to come up with ways to lighten up recipes. I would bake all the time if I could!” Jackie Termont - Elkhart, Indiana

My husband and daughter LOVED it! It was so easy and the prunes were a great hidden plus.

I made individual cakes in custard cups, baking them in a an inch of water in two baking pans. They came out moist and wonderfully rich. Definitly a keeper!

This was very much like my Mom's old recipe, which I no longer have. Glad to come across this one! Hubby wanted more!

This is one of the best chocolate desserts we have ever tasted! It was easy to make and made my husband smile for a long time.

Not very rich tasting. Like it was missing something. Cake was spongy and sticky.

Very good. It probably would be better with ice cream on top. I did not taste the prunes.

I might try applesauce next time, but liked the recipe as written. No fruity taste, no prune taste, just a great chocolately taste that wasn't too sweet.
