Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
- 1 cup raisins
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set it aside.
In a food processor, blend the garbanzo beans until smooth. Add the eggs, sugar, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, then process until well combined and smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Gradually pour the wet mixture from the food processor into the dry ingredients, folding gently until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is cool, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy!
