    This sounds interesting and being gluten-free means I can eat it too :happy:

    I think I will have to make it when hubby isn't around, if he sees chickpeas going in it I am not sure he will try it.

    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!

    No sugar, or sugar substitute? Or, did I miss it somewhere?? Or, does the organic sugar dusting flavor it?

    I was hoping it was eggless I made brownies that were made from black beans it was for a boy who was gluten free and my hubby doesn't eat egg he is a vegeterian. I laughed when I saw people eating them.!!

    I recently tried the black bean brownie thing and it worked out great, so I'm definitely going to try this!

    Yes! The black bean brownie made me a convert. You truly cannot taste the beans.

    This cake looks amaaaaaaaazing. Must try!! Thanks!

    I use http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php to figure calories. I figured on 15 oz garbanzo beans; hopefully that's the right size can!

    Calorie Count says:
    1 entire recipe = 664g

    Sodium: 277
    Total Carbs: 240.4
    Dietary Fiber: 74
    Sugars: 110.3
    Protein: 103.6

    You can copy and paste an entire recipe into Calorie Count. It takes a little bit to get used to, but after you've done it a few times, you realize how to adjust the recipe to fit them, and it's super easy. AND it gives you a whole lot more information than MFP does!
