Cuban Black Bean Cakes Recipe image

Provided by devogirl

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 15-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon garlic powder (granulated)
1 teaspoon onion powder (granulated)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoon Vegan Mayo (pg. 272)
2 tablespoon cornmeal
Lime Creme (pg. 271)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 2. In a mixing bowl, mash beans with a fork so that no whole beans are left but the mixture is not mushy and pureed like refried beans. Add cilantro, ketchup, spices, and Vegan Mayo and mix together. 3. Then add 1 tablespoon cornmeal and mix. If it's still slightly sticky to the touch, add another 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of cornmeal. Try not to exceed 2 tablespoons of cornmeal, as it will dry the patties out. 4. Shape mixture into 4 patties (slightly smaller than a medium-size burger) using, your hands. 5. Bake for 10 minutes, flip, and bake for 5 minutes more. Bake a third time for 5+ minutes. The patties should have a lightly crisp outside, but still be relatively soft, like crab cakes. You also don't want to overcook or your cakes will dry out. 6. Serve cakes with a dollop of Lime Creme.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cakes turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them. I'll try again soon and hopefully they'll turn out better next time.

These cakes were a great way to use up some leftover black beans. They were easy to make and they turned out really well. I'll definitely be making them again.

I love these cakes! They're so easy to make and they're always a hit with my family. I usually serve them with a side of rice and beans.

These cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time. Otherwise, they were still tasty and a good way to get some extra protein in my diet.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cakes turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I served them with a side of sour cream and they were delicious.

These cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time. Otherwise, they were still a good way to use up leftover beans.

I'm not a huge fan of black beans, but I really enjoyed these cakes. The spices and the corn really helped to balance out the flavor of the beans. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cakes were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used canned black beans and corn, and I added a little bit of chopped red bell pepper for some extra color. I served them with a side of guacamole and they were delicious.

These cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add an extra egg next time to see if that helps. Otherwise, they were still tasty and a good way to get some extra veggies in my diet.
