Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 425 grams Garbanzo beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 4 large Eggs
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 45 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each burst, until fully melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, add the garbanzo beans, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure a uniform batter.
Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the blender or food processor. Blend again until well combined and smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar, top with whipped cream, or enjoy it as is. Slice and serve!
