Surprisingly good for a very low fat and low sugar dessert. Prunes are processed with cocoa and coconut, formed into balls (around an almond or not), and rolled in a mix of powdered sugar and cocoa. An option is to make a chocolate decoration on the top.
I found the instructions to be good, the mixture formed a sticky blob just as the instructions said (made easy with the food processor). We liked them more without the almond, and so prepared most that way. The one problem I did encounter was that chocolate doesn't stick to a layer of powdered sugar and cocoa! So - if you plan to decorate (and I would recommend that - it helps make it a bit more dessert-like) - you might want to go easy on the powdered sugar.
If you eat this thinking it will taste like almond joy, you are likely to be disappointed. But if instead you think its some interesting vegan dessert, you will likely be pleasantly surprised.

A dense moist cake that has no cholesterol and is somewhat low in calories. Why am I surprised this isn't a delicate and decadent dessert?
Pros: Easy, one bowl preparation, perfect baking time, and this cake came out of the pan flawlessly. The two glazes were easy to prepare and look beautiful. The orange zest and orange juice gave a lovely citrus aroma.
Cons: This is a dense and heavy cake, few would be surprised that half the flour is whole wheat. The chocolate taste was a mere whisper (1/2 C cocoa in the cake).
On the whole, this was a good cake, but probably not worth a repeat.

This recipe makes a very pretty bright orange falafel. The recipe is based on one from "Leon: Ingredients and Recipes". Sweet potatoes, chick pea flour, spices and herbs are mashed, made into small patties, and baked. Sesame seeds are sprinkled on top, and I experimented with both standard white sesame seeds and black ones. That combination of black and orange would look great at Halloween.
These were pretty good, but not amazing. I wish I had made the suggested sauce - perhaps they were too dry. I served these with red bell pepper, yogurt, lettuce, in tortillas.
Easy to make, and quick, if the sweet potatoes are already cooked, then it only takes about 10 minutes of prep and 15-20 minutes baking. Simple ingredients, too, I was delighted to find a dinner recipe that didn't require a stop at the store.
A similar recipe is posted on 101 cookbooks, and I provide the link in the "links" tab. The two have a different sweet potato:flour ratio, and the one from 101 cookbooks also includes some oil.
