Chocolate Garbanzo CakeIn a small bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave for about 2 minutes on 50% power, stirring frequently until smooth. In a blender, blend the beans and eggs until creamy. Add remaining ingredients, including the melted chocolate and blend well. If your blender is not big enough, pour into a bowl to mix. Put batter into a greased and floured 13x9 pan and bake at 350 for about 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick in center comes out with moist crumbs—don’t overbake. Frost with your favorite frosting when cool.
1 1/2 c. chocolate chips (I use 60% cacao)
2 cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
6 eggs
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 T. cocoa powder
1 T. lemon juice
1 1/2 t. baking powder
3/4 t. baking soda
1 t. vanilla
Chocolate Frosting:
1/4 c. butterBeat until creamy and spreadable.
4 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. cocoa powder
1/4 c. milk
1 1/2 t. vanilla

I have a similar chocolate cake recipe that uses pinto beans. And a frosting recipe to match. I wouldn't say they are my favorite recipes, because apparently unlike you I enjoy cake just fine and have several faves that have no health benefits whatsoever!
Yum!! I am so excited to try this. I know I will struggle stopping at one piece!
This recipe is sweeping through my ward, after I made it for a provident living themed activity recently. It's even becoming a wedding cake for one of the families in the ward whose son is marrying a girl who is allergic to most everything!
Thanks, Mirien!
Oh, forgot to mention that I love it and am completely addicted to it! In fact, I want to go make it right now! :)
I can't believe I haven't commented on here yet. We've made this several times now and it is definitely our new favorite chocolate cake recipe. I plan to share it on my recipe blog soon.
