Yes, it sounds interesting I agree- but it's absolutely amazing if you're looking for a fun twist on a pie in a cake form! Plus, there's no added sugar!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat a microwave safe cup with 1 cup of water for 30 seconds, add in prunes, and let sit, covered for 5 minutes.
To a Vitamix (or a high powdered blender/food processor), add in prunes with 1/2 cup of the water. Blend until a thick puree is formed.
Add in sweet potato, peanut butter, egg, almond milk and vanilla extract, blend 1 to 2 minutes until smooth.
In a small bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Slowly add dry mix into Vitamix 1/4 cup at a time, blending until all is incorporated and batter is smooth.
Spray 8x8-inch square pan (or 6 individual 2x2-inch cake pans) with cooking spray.
Pour batter into pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
Remove, let cool, and enjoy! Refrigerate in an air tight container and enjoy for best quality within 4 days.
