This cake confuses people, they're surprised to learn that it's made from beans. I added the topping to make it look nicer and richer. Taken from May 1998 Veggie Life magazine.

This chocolate chickpea cake was a delightful surprise! The combination of chickpeas and chocolate may seem unconventional, but it worked perfectly. The cake was moist and dense, with a rich chocolate flavor. I'd definitely make this again!
