Preheat oven 350 degrees. Spray 2 cake pans with PAM and dust with flour;
set aside. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and
salt; set aside.

Steep the cappuccino powder in the boiling water; set aside to cool a bit.
Mix together the prunes, vanilla, egg whites and skim milk. Add to the dry
ingredients and mix well. Divide between the three pans. Bake 30 minutes,
or until a cake tester inserted into the center of each cake comes out
clean. Let cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around
the edges to loosen. Turn out onto wire racks to cool completely before
frosting. Split each layer in two (to form a 4-layer cake).

FROSTING: Steep the cappuccino powder in the boiling water; set aside to
cool a bit. Place all ingredients into a large bowl (heat-proof) and set
it over a pan of BOILING water (not touching the bowl). Using a hand-held
electric mixer, beat the mixture until it forms soft peaks. Frost between
the layers of the cake, then the top and sides.
