Method :

Preheat oven to 175C. Lightly spray a 23cm round springform cake tin. Cream the butter and castor sugar together. Add the prune puree and beat until smooth.

Fold in the artificial sweetener powder, then the liqueurs and whisky. Gradually stir in the egg whites and beat for 1-2 minutes until well combined. Sift the flours and cocoa together in another bowl and then gradually add them to the liquid mixture. Fold in well. Lastly, add the Fruche in two lots to the cake mixture and fold in well.

Pour unto prepared cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until cake just springs back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Turn out of tin and invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Icing -

Put the syrups into a small bowl and heat for 15 seconds in the microwave (or in a small saucepan on the stove until just warm). Pour the syrups over the cornflour and mix well. Add the melted chocolate and beat until smooth.

Gradually add the milk and then the icing sugar. Fold in well. Spread icing over the cake (the bottom of the cake should be used as the top) and around the sides. Cut the strawberries in half and place them evenly around the edge of the cake.

Refrigerate cake until ready to serve.
