    I yesterday tried it. I think above post is for small box. I used bigger one and with one cup chip I can still feel the chick pea taste.Also added 3tbs sugar. Will recommend tasting the batter. My little one loved it (18 month old) but my husband think it is too choclaty. I used 11/2 cup of chips. finall product was smooth like butter. Mine was done in half hour instead of 30.

    It's really good! My three year old picky little eater even loves it. She doesn't like beans, so I was hesitant to even show her that's what I was using to make it, but she really likes it. I put a little drizzle of chocolate syrup on her piece. Thanks for the recipe, OP! :happy:

    Thank you so much for doing this. I was thinking the same thing about having all the ingredients. I'm off to the kitchen now and hiding the beans from my daughter. :flowerforyou:

    I made this as the OP recipe. The differences were that I had to cook it much less - 20 to 23 minutes, baked it in a square pyrex dish. I also sprinkled some chocolate chips over the top when it came out of the oven. The chips melted and then I spread them over the cake. I cut them into squares. There is a post of this on my blog: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/nortx/view/flourless-chocolate-cake-427847

    The nutrition I got was 9 squares for 230 calories each. Hubby loved it. Still doesn't know it was chick peas. It freezes perfectly.

    Definitely going to try this. I did the Black Bean Brownies and they were AMAZING so I'm sure this will taste super delicious as well. :)

    After reading about so many delicious recipes on here - I thought I would share my go-to chocolate cake recipe :)

    Ingredients:

    1 can of garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
    1 cup of chocolate chips (I personally use the reeeeally dark chocolate because I like the way it tastes and you can use way less than say milk chocolate and have a much more chocolaty flavor
    3 egg whites - 1 yolk
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder

    Directions:

    -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with Pam or some alternative.
    -Place the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds after the first minute, until chocolate is melted and smooth. If you have a powerful microwave, reduce the power to 50 percent.
    -Combine the beans and eggs in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Add the baking powder, and pulse to blend.
    -Pour in the melted chocolate and blend until smooth, scraping down the corners to make sure chocolate is completely mixed. -Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan.
    -Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

    *I like to top mine with sliced strawberries or raspberries and dust with a little bit of organic confectioners sugar

    OH - and don't TELL anyone that it's made with garbanzo beans and I am willing to bet you MONEY not a single person will question it. I've put this cake in front of some of the toughest critics and I have yet to have one last longer than a few hours... Enjoy!

    Thank you for sharing! Looks wonderful!

    Just made this - delicious!

    I'll need to make a double batch next time - half of the mixture went in my mouth before it got to the baking tin ;)

    'And I must agree - NO one would be able to guess what it's made of!
