Flourless Chocolate Cake
This moist, flourless chocolate cake brings back childhood memories for me, as it tastes just like Bahlsen chocolate cake. Instead of flour, we use black beans, which you'd never guess are in the finished cake. However, they make this cake incredibly moist and give it a light, airy texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat). Line a loaf pan with baking paper.
- Step 2
Place the beans in a food processor and process until finely pureed. Add the butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar, and mix with the beans until a homogeneous mixture is formed.
- Step 3
Add cocoa and baking powder and mix with the bean and egg mixture until a smooth cake batter is formed.
- Step 4
Pour the cake batter into the loaf pan lined with parchment paper and smooth the surface. Bake the cake at 175°C for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Step 5
Remove the chocolate cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Then, if desired, refrigerate for another hour. Before serving, the cake can be dusted with powdered sugar or coated with chocolate glaze, if desired.
