1. В В Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line an eight-inch square baking pan with a foil sling. Make a foil sling for an eight-inch square baking pan by folding two long sheets of aluminum foil so each is eight inches wide. Lay sheets of foil in pan perpendicular to each other, with extra foil hanging over edges of pan. Push foil into corners and up sides of pan, smoothing foil flush to pan.

Grease the foil with coconut oil. 2. В В Whisk the flour, ginger, cacao powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. 3. В В In a large bowl, beat the molasses, palm sugar, and melted coconut oil together with an electric mixer on low speed until combined.

Beat in the egg until combined (about 30 seconds).

Beat in the coconut milk until combined (about 30 seconds).

Beat in the flour mixture until the batter is smooth and thick (1 to 3 minutes).

Fold in the dried fruit (raisins, chopped prunes, or dried cranberries). 4. В В Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and gently tap the pan on the counter to settle the batter.

Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached (35 to 40 minutes), rotating the pan halfway through baking. 5. В В Let the cake cool completely in the pan (one to two hours). If desired, remove the cake from the pan using the foil before serving.
