Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

Now this is a totally unique recipe for a delicious gluten free chocolate cake that will have your diners stumped about the main ingredient...whole garbanzo beans.  Who knew beans would be good in dessert as well!

2 1/4 cups garbanzo beans (cooked and drained if canned)
4 organic eggs
1 cup organic sugar or 1 1/4 cup honey
1 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease an 8" round baking pan
  • Blend beans in a food processor.  Add eggs and blend.  Add sweetener and blend. 
  • Whisk together dry and add to food processor and blend.
  • Pour in to greased pan, smooth top and bake about 40 min. or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.  Cool in pan 15 min then flip out onto cooling rack.
Eat as is or make a chocolate ganache to pour over it or raspberry whipped cream or caramel or....ok I am getting way too excited here.  But you get the point.  Enjoy it with whatever makes you smile!
