Delicious Chocolate Cake Recipe with a Surprising Kick

As someone who constantly seeks out creative and brave solutions, I admit I thought, "Let's try a small batch; worst case, it'll succeed." Honestly, I didn't expect it to be so delicious and surprising. The truth is, it's a secret – my husband and the kids think it's just a surprising chocolate cake, but not that adventurous...

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked black beans, or mixed beans

4 eggs, or alternatively 2 ripe bananas

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup natural silan or honey

1/4 cup coconut sugar

1/4 cup low-fat cocoa powder or cocoa nibs

1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

For those who like it sweeter, you can add more silan or agave syrup.

For the frosting:

1 tablespoon cocoa

2 tablespoons natural silan

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Optional: 50 grams of 85% chocolate

Preparation Instructions:

Preheat oven to 180°C.

In a food processor, blend the black beans that have been soaked overnight and cooked until soft. Puree until smooth.

Add the rest of the ingredients and blend for another 1-2 minutes.

Transfer to a baking pan or individual muffin cups.

Bake for about 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Remove and let cool.

For the frosting: Melt the frosting ingredients in a double boiler. Pour over the cake once it's cooled.

Optional: Sprinkle coconut over the chocolate.
