I did out do myself. I am not a baker. Don’t want to be. But I do want to share my chocolate black bean 🫘 cake recipe with you! Alongside my grandmas favorite ❤️ a baked apple.
Yes! Here’s the black bean chocolate cake recipe we discussed—rich, chocolatey, and made without flour.
Ingredients
* 1 can (540 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed well
* 3 eggs
* ½ cup sugar or maple syrup
* ⅓ cup neutral oil or melted butter
* ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1 tsp vanilla
* 1 tsp baking powder
* ¼ tsp salt
* Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips
Directions
1. Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment.
2. Blend everything except the chocolate chips in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
3. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using, and pour into the pan.
4. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the centre is set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
5. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out and let cool completely before slicing
