Indulge Without Guilt: Discover the Decadent Delight of Gluten-Free Black Bean Chocolate Cake!
good readings my beautiful lovelies it’s Emmy how are you it’s great to see you and welcome back today I’m going to be making a chocolate cake that might be healthy might be because it contains no flour no gluten and it has lots of protein in it it has lots of protein because we’re going to be using black.
Black beans black beans are the backbone to this cake recipe as I said earlier there’s no flour in this whatsoever no rice flour no grains no wheat because we’re using mostly black beans eggs and some leaver of course some chocolate to make this a chocolate cake but you also make this in the blender so it comes together super fast it bakes for about a.
Half an hour so it’s easy to make too all the wonderful things that we like in a recipe but will it taste like chocolate cake will it taste like Black beans NE and will it be delicious I’m super curious about all these things and that’s why I’m going to be making this recipe today today’s recipe is adaptive from the pancake princess I’ll put a.
Link down below to the original in case you are curious so let’s go ahead and get started the first ingredient we’re going to need are black beans you can use one can that you buy from the supermarket or you can cook them like I have and rinse them and drain them this is a cup and 3/4 now if you’ve got the time highly recommend buying dried beans.
And cooking them rinse them first put them in a big pot cover them with a couple inches of water bring that up to a boil and then cover it turn off the heat and then I put it into a hot oven preheated oven when I say hot not very hot about 300° and then I cook them for an hour and a half 2 hours depending on the bean I check them every half an hour.
Or so to see if they’re tender so what I like to do is measure the beans in a/ cup or one cup surf ings put a little bit of The Bean water and then I put them in plastic freezer bags and then I freeze them flat and it’s a wonderful way to have beans on hand you can take them out and because you’ve frozen them flat they thaw out super quickly and.
Then I can use them in all kinds of recipes so convenient and easy if you have the time to cook your beans but so much cheaper a bag of beans can go for a dollar and you can get six batches six cans worth four cans worth so it’s it’s so much Che can of beans can go from anywhere from a dollar to even $2 it can depending on the type of bean you get.
All right enough of that beans into my blender to that we’re going to add some sugar no flour in this recipe I am super excited about this some of you may know I’ve become sensitive to wheat so yay not yay that I’m sensitive to wheat but yay this is an option for cake for me four beautiful eggs we’ve had some really cold.
Temperatures recently and my hens continue to lay but not nearly as frequently as they do in Spring and Summer pinch of salt vegetable oil or you can also use butter if you like but I find oil easier to have on hand don’t have to melt anything and this is mild olive oil.
Which I like to use in baking vanilla extract blop now we’re going to cover this and blend it till it’s very well pureed so let’s check our consistency it looks a little bit like cookies and cream little Flex of Bean in there that we can see next we’re going to add our cocoa powder and it is recommended to.
Use dutched processed cocoa powder which is alkalized which makes for a darker cocoa powder and some people say it has more complex chocolatey flavor and besides the eggs we need some baking powder and baking soda for leavening and another round of blending all right to make things a.
Little bit more festive I’ve got two 6-in pans that I’ve lined with parchment paper both on the bottom and on the sides you you can also make this in a single layer in an 8 and 1/2 or 9 in pan if you like as well but there’s something just more festive about a stacked cake and I’m going to just give this one final stir and scrape looks.
Like chocolate sauce chocolate pudding smells like it too vanilla chocolate don’t smell any Bean whatsoever now I’m pretty certain that this is going to be delicious because pancake princess number one has vetted it number two I made many many many years ago black bean brownies and no detectable Taste of black bean.
Whatsoever in that recipe but I’ve never made cake because I want them to be even I’m going to measure so there’s about two cups in each pan all right now these go into a preheated 350° oven we’re going to cook for 30 to 35 minutes all righty my lovies I will see you when these are completely cooked and completely cooled before we Frost okay.
See in a little bit all righty my lovelies I have taken out the bean cakes from the oven and now I’m going to unmold them onto a rack so they can cool off so they’ve been cooling for 5 minutes here they are they were much more poofed when they came out right in the middle and a little bit cracked and I stuck a toothpick in it and when it.
Came out mostly clean I pulled them out of the oven and for me it took 30 minutes to bake okay remove the parchment paper from the sides Beau beautiful I’m actually going to place these outside because it’s frigid out there there’s a nice wind so should cool these cakes off pretty.
Quickly so while the cakes are cooling let’s go ahead and make our frosting today’s frosting comes from Smitten Kitchen I love this recipe it’s from her all I want is chocolate cake recipe and includes this really simple frosting I love it because it comes together super quickly because we make it in the food processor this is so easy it’s become my.
Traditional chocolate cake Frost ing for birthdays because it’s easy and delicious one stick of butter at room temperature I’ve cut it into little pieces so it will warm up faster and I’ve sprinkled it with a bit of kosher salt because this is unsalted butter and I want some salt in here so it’s just a good pinch next we’re going to add.
Powdered sugar right into there some melted unsweetened chocolate look at that isn’t that gorgeous it’s very bitter though because there’s no sugar and a little splash of vanilla and it’s turning into frosting a tablespoon of milk you can add heavy.
Cream if you’ve got it and you can add more depending on the consistency you want instant chocolate frosting now we’re just going to wait for our cakes to completely cool and we will ice and then give it a taste all righty my lovelies I’m back with my cool Bean cakes and now we’re ready to frost.
I’m going to grab my offset spatula favorite tool for frosting and grab one of our cakes nice and cooled and after it’s cooled it actually settled down a bit it was very mounded when it first came out of the oven but cooled off nicely and nice and even so I’m not going to even bother trying to trim this flip it over and remove the.
Parchment paper very nice we’re going to take a third of this and place it in the middle of the cake we don’t need much this frosting is very sweet so just enough to stick things together cuz we need enough to frost the outside of the cake too next we’re going to do the.
Other cake place that right on top now we’re just going to Frost the whole thing when it comes to frosting cakes I like to do things pretty simply and not too fussy so I like the big kind of oldfashioned sweeps with the spatula occasionally I’ll bring out a Piping Bag to do.
Something special usually for a birthday but for just any old day I’ll just go with these kinds of swoopy marks all right lovelies here it is the chocolate chocolate cake with the secret ingredient of black beans to make this a completely flowless cake cake beautiful isn’t it so cute okay let’s give it a slice boom slices is.
Beautifully oh look that’s gorgeous that that’s perfect okay I need a white plate look at the slice look at that slice oh my gosh that’s perfection that’s beautiful oh man that’s stunning look look at this slice it’s perfect this might be the prettiest chocolate cake I’ve ever made.
I mean I’ve made a lot of chocolate cakes the ding- doll cake was pretty epic but that was so much effort you saw how I made this this was very low effort I made the batter in a blender the icing in the food processor it was so fast and look at the results all righty most importantly how does it taste is it going to taste like black.
Bean let’s find out let’s see its texture oh that looks pretty stinking great to me all righty glutenfree flowless chocolate cake here we go the ly m M that is good it’s bouncy it’s moist plenty sweet and I do not taste any black bean.
Whatsoever none the texture is a little spongy it’s got a lot of spring to it mhm but it’s chocolatey the frosting has just the perfect amount of sweetness with the cake alone it’s too sweet but with the cake perfectly sweet the cake isn’t overly sweet which I appreciate.
Too you really do need the frosting otherwise it’s a little bit too light it’s got a kind of moist spring to it not unpleasant reminds me of freshly baked banana bread in that regard excellent flowless glutenfree High protein chocolate cake that takes minutes to make 30 minutes to bake you could have.
