Gluten Free Black Bean Cake Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE BLACK BEAN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and move a rack to the middle of the oven. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
• Combine 1/2 cup water and the beans in a blender or food processor and blend until the mixture resembles the consistency of a grainy chocolate pudding. Add the cocoa powder, sugar, oil, vanilla, salt and eggs, and blend until smooth. Scrape out the batter into a large mixing bowl.
• Use a double boiler to melt 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips or place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through. Stir the melted chocolate into the black bean mixture and add the remaining chocolate chips. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the edges separate from the pan slightly, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Cool for 10 minutes, then sift the confectioners' sugar over the top and cut into sixteen 2-inch squares to serve.

GLUTEN FREE BLACK BEAN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 6″ round cake pan with cooking spray with flour in it. Also, I used a bake even strip. Blend the beans, 2 eggs, vanilla and sugar in the food processor (or blender) on high until completely blended. In a small bowl combine the cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda. In a large bowl, beat the butter/coconut oil until fluffy. Add the remaining two eggs and beat well after each egg. Beat in the bean mixture. Beat in the dry ingredients. Beat for 1-2 minutes. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Flip the cake out onto a cooling rack. Pour cold water in the pan to cool it completely. Pour the remaining batter into the pan and bake for 40-45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Flip the cake out onto a cooling rack. Allow for both layers to cool completely before icing.

GARBANZO BEAN CHOCOLATE CAKE (GLUTEN FREE!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
• Place the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds after the first minute, until chocolate is melted and smooth. If you have a powerful microwave, reduce the power to 50 percent.
• Combine the beans and eggs in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Add the sugar and the baking powder, and pulse to blend. Pour in the melted chocolate and blend until smooth, scraping down the corners to make sure chocolate is completely mixed. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan.
• Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
