1/2 cup stout such as Mackeson or Guinness (pour beer slowly into measuring cup; do not measure foam)
1/2 cup packed soft pitted prunes (6 oz), chopped
3 1/2 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened or extra-bitter), chopped

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Lightly brush ring pan with melted butter and chill 2 minutes, then butter again and chill while making batter.
2
Bring beer to a boil in a small saucepan and add prunes. Remove from heat and let stand until most of liquid is absorbed.

Meanwhile, melt chocolate and remaining stick butter together in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.

Spoon batter into ring mold and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into middle of cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
