- FRUIT PUREE FAT REPLACEMENT: Cut fruit into eighths (don't core); place in a heavy medium saucepan. Add in water, lemon juice and lecithin and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, stirring and mashing fruit occasionally, till mushy, 35 to 45 min. Let cold slightly.
- Press through a fine sieve (or possibly food mill fitted with a fine grate) into a bowl. (It will have an applesauce-like texture.) Let cold completely. The fruit puree will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or possibly in the freezer for up to 6 months.

- CAKE: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly oil a 12 c. Bundt pan or possibly coat it with nonstick spray.

Meanwhile, sift flour, cocoa, baking pwdr, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside. In another medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, fruit puree, oil, coffee granules and vanilla. Set aside. Remove bowl of Large eggs from water. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed. Gradually add in sugar. Increase mixer speed to high and continue beating till mix is thick and pale, about 5 min.
- With a rubber spatula, alternately fold reserved dry ingredients and buttermilk mix into egg mix, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 additions of buttermilk mix.
- Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 min, or possibly till top springs back when touched lightly and cake shrinks away slightly from sides of pan. Place on a wire rack to cold for 10 min. Loosen edges and invert cake onto rack. Cold completely.
- To make glaze:Spread hazelnuts in a shallow pan and bake in a 325 degree oven for 5 to 7 min, or possibly till fragrant. Let cold.
