Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
4 eggs
¾ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Place the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds after the first minute, until chocolate is melted and smooth. If you have a powerful microwave, reduce the power to 50 percent.
  • Combine the beans and eggs in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Add the sugar and the baking powder, and pulse to blend. Pour in the melted chocolate and blend until smooth, scraping down the corners to make sure chocolate is completely mixed. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 7

*1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
*2 cups of garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
*4 eggs (or 1 cup of egg beaters)
*3/4 cup white sugar
*1/2 teaspoon baking powder
*1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting
*1 cup sliced strawberries

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch round cake pan. 2. Place the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds after the first minute, until chocolate is melted and smooth. 3. Combine beans and eggs (or egg beaters) in a food processor. Process until smooth. Add the sugar and the baking powder, and pulse to blend. Pour in the melted chocolate and blend until smooth - making sure everything is completely mixed. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan. 4. Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes. 5. Cover with a light layer of confectioners' sugar, then sliced strawberries or other fruit, and then cover again with another layer of confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Soak the Garbanzo Beans: Soaking the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours softens them and makes them easier to digest. This step is crucial for a smooth and creamy cake texture.
  • Use Good Quality Cocoa Powder: The cocoa powder is a key ingredient in this cake, so make sure to use a high-quality, unsweetened variety. This will ensure a rich chocolate flavor.
  • Measure Ingredients Accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. This will help ensure that your cake turns out perfectly.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake Properly: The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the cake and adjust the cooking time if necessary.

Conclusion:

This garbanzo bean chocolate cake is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional chocolate cake. It's gluten-free, high in protein and fiber, and made with wholesome ingredients.
