Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and salt.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the applesauce, molasses, egg substitute, sugar and prunes until frothy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer at low speed, gradually add the flour mixture; stir until just combined (do not overmix). Add the water and stir until just smooth.

Pour the batter into the pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool completely in the pan on a rack.
