Black Bean Chocolate Cake image

Healthy yet deviously delicious. I got this off of the Soma Studio website. No one believes me when I say it's flourless. I usually make it with a decadent chocolate icing, but I've made it with chocolate avocado icing and it was still scrumptious.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

15 ounces of unseasoned black beans
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 cup honey
6 tablespoons dark Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grease 9" cake pan and dust with cocoa powder, tapping to evenly distribute.
  • Drain and rinse beans. Shake off excess water.
  • I use handheld mixer to pulverize beans smooth.
  • Add in 3 of the eggs, vanilla, salt and continue mixing. When smooth, add in coconut oil and honey. Add in last 2 eggs.
  • In separate bowl, sift in cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder and then add to the wet ingredients
  • Beat on high until you achieve a nice smooth consistency. Approx 1 minute.
  • Scrape batter into pan and rap on counter a few times to free any bubbles.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cake is done when top is rounded, firm to touch and toothpick comes out clean.
  • LET CAKE SIT OVERNIGHT IF POSSIBLE or at least 8 hours. It's not a ready-eat-right-away type of cake.
  • Frost with favorite frosting and enjoy.
