Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick(s) butter
1 cup(s) sugar
1 - egg, slightly beaten
1 cup(s) self-rising flour
1/2 cup(s) pecans (or walnuts), chopped
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
2 cup(s) dried apples, chopped
1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
2 cup(s) *pinto beans, cooked & mashed (without meat)
OPTIONAL ICING:
2 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
4 tablespoon(s) milk
*NOTE: THIS CAKE IS DEFINITELY BEST IF YOU MAKE YOUR OWN PINTO BEANS FROM DRIED PINTOS. YOU CAN MAKE THE BEANS 2 OR 3 DAYS AHEAD USING JUST A TSP. OF SALT, BUT NO MEAT. IF YOU USE CANNED BEANS, BUY THE VEGETARIAN VERSION AND RINSE BEFORE MASHING.

Steps:

  • CREAM butter and sugar together.
  • ADD mashed beans and egg. (NOTE: If using canned beans, be sure to rinse and strain beans before mashing. If you make your own pot of beans, strain before mashing. DO NOT USE BEANS WITH MEAT!)
  • SIFT dry ingredients into the mashed mixture.
  • STIR in nuts and apples. Don't over mix.
  • POUR into a 9 or 10 inch greased and floured tube pan. Bake in pre-heated 350-degree oven for one-hour or until done. Inserting toothpick that comes out nearly clean indicates 'done'. Cool about 20 minutes then invert while still warm and set on cake plate.
  • DRIZZLE icing over cake while cake is still warm. If icing is too thick, make thinner by adding more milk. Allow cake to completely cool before serving.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften the beans and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a food processor to mash the beans: This will create a smooth and creamy texture for the cakes.
  • Add your favorite seasonings and spices: This will help to flavor the cakes and make them more delicious.
  • Cook the cakes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the cakes with your favorite toppings: Such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Pinto bean cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover beans. With their high protein and fiber content, pinto bean cakes are a healthy and satisfying meal option. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy beans, give pinto bean cakes a try!
