Hoof In Mouth
I got this recipe from PaulaJo over at BYC, she has a cool blog called Sustainable Firstfruits. I'll post the blog spot address in a sec.
This is a cake that passes all the tests that a chocolate cake must pass, in order to be made again.
I do not know where this recipe originated from. Thanks go out to whoever figured it out.
Black Bean Chocolate cake.
*24 hours prior to making this cake, soak 2 cups of black beans in water, with a little bit of raw whey added.
*Cook and cool the beans in fresh water, prior to making the cake.
(Beans may be cooled quickly by rinsing with cold water)
*This method assure that your beans will not cause gastric issue of any kind.
*If you do not have dry beans available to you, you can use one can of rinsed black beans,
*However, I cannot vouch for their not causing gastric distress.
*On to the recipe!
*In your blender, combine the following.
1 1/2 cups of cooked and cooled beans
3 farm fresh eggs
1 tsp of vanilla
1/2 tsp of sea salt
6 Tbls of cocoa powder
1 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of baking soda.
Blend until smooth.
Add the following ingredients.
3/4 cup of honey
7 tbsp of warmed butter
2 eggs.
Blend again till smooth.
*Pour into a buttered pan that has also been "floured" with a bit of cocoa.
*Bake until center just springs back when pressed.
*Allow to fully cool, and ideally, let sit for a few hours prior to serving.
*Serve with a dollop of fresh raw cream and a few sliced strawberries.
Oven temp 350, bake approx 45 minutes if you are using an 8 x 8 baking pan. Use a toothpick to check doneness.
