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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the blender or food processor. Blend again until well combined and smooth.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once cooled, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar, top with whipped cream, or enjoy it as is. Slice and serve!
