Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In food processor or blender, chop
prunes, stopping to scrape sides, until mixture resembles smooth paste,
about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl of mixer.
In separate bowl, whisk egg whites together. Divide in half; reserve.
With beaters running, add sugar to prune puree in mixer bowl. Beat at
medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Do not underbeat. Add half of egg
whites. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
In separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder
and salt. Add, beating constantly, to prune, sugar and egg white mixture,
alternating with buttermilk. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
In separate bowl, beat remaining egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold
beaten egg whites into cake batter carefully but completely.
Divide batter among three 9-inch cake pans that have been lightly oiled
and their bottoms lined with waxed paper. Bake until cake springs back
when touched in center and wooden pick inserted comes out clean, about 30
minutes.
Remove from oven; place pans on cooling racks. Run spatula carefully
around edge. Let cake cool in pans until room temperature, about 20
minutes.
Frosting: In saucepan, mix together evaporated milk or almond milk, sugar
and vanilla. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until sugar
dissolves and mixture is hot. Add cornstarch paste in thin stream,
stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Stir in
coconut and pecans; stir to cool.
Frost in between layers and tops and sides of cake. Makes 10 slices.
NOTE: Dehydrated egg whites provide a convenient, economical way to bake
without having to dispose of leftover yolks. They are available at
natural food stores. Substitute 1/3 cup dehydrated egg whites, whisked
until smooth with 1 cup lukewarm water, for egg whites.

Diet tips
If you really want to shed a few pounds and improve your all round health, then, as most people know, you ought to commence a carefully calculated healthy-minded diet. Ideally, this should contain 5 portions of grains, cereals and vegetables each day and include the optimum proportion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fat.
When devising a daily routine, it is important to make efforts to moderate your ingestion of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.
When people first start dieting, they usually concentrate on chain store and well known food items referred to as 'low-fat'. This is ordinarily foolish, given that a food item may well be low in fats, but nevertheless contain far too many carbohydrates and calories.
Drink more water. From time to time when going through a normal morning, you have the idea you want food when really you may need a restorative tumbler of water or juice. The sensations of thirst and hunger are quite similar, albeit one of the two results in a broken diet and the other leads to no damage.
As an alternative to concentrating on which foods that you really should remove from your diet, focus on the healthy foods which you should bring into your dietary regime. If you manage to bring in some wholesome fruit & veg into your meal plan, you'll soon find that you feel more full and have a substantially decreased risk of giving in to those damaging afternoon sweets and chocolates.
