    The secret to this quick, soft and easy chocolate mug cake is pureed prunes. If you have any leftover prunes or prunes puree, you can use this quick easy vegan chocolate mug cake recipe for one person to make use of the leftover prunes puree. The interesting fact is that you wouldn't even taste the presence of the pureed prunes in the cake, you will never know there is prunes in this unless someone told you. This chocolate mug cake recipe can also be used to sneak prunes into your kids diet if you want to, as they are not going to realize there's prunes in it. Prunes puree can act much like a replacement for eggs, oil and even sweetener although we add a tablespoon of oil and a couple of spoons of sugar to make this really a very yummy dessert.

    If you don't have pureed prunes, you can make prunes puree from dried prunes. To make homemade prunes puree, soak about 1 cup of dried prunes in some fresh water for some time which will soften up the dried prunes, just process the soaked prunes with very little water (use very little water that is used for soaking) using a good quality food processor, until the puree is very smooth.
