1 cup sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 jar (5 oz.) strained prunes
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
Prune Frosting
1 cup sugar

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/3 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
directions
Cream shortening and sugar. Add egg yolks then beat. Add prunes, cooled chocolate, and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute.
Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with water. Beat until smooth. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites.
Pour into a pan (13 x 9 x 2 inches) lined on bottom with greased wax paper. Bake in a preheated moderate oven (350 degrees F) for about 30 minutes.
Cool and spread with Prune Frosting. Sprinkle with nuts.
PRUNE FROSTING: In a saucepan, mix sugar, strained prunes, unsweetened chocolate, butter or margarine, milk, and salt.
Bring to a boil and cook until a small amount of mixture forms a soft ball when dropped into a little cold water (234 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Beat.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
