Yup. That’s right. It’s a thing. There are beans in this delectably moist, rich chocolate cake. Not only are there beans, but there is no flour. Many gluten free folk have probably heard of this phenomena, but I had not. I’m converted. At least for this cake.
I used this recipe from The Food Faffer. The only change I made was that I used plain, granulated sugar. Also, I doubled the recipe so that I could make a two layer cake.
Bake. Cool. Frost. Layer. Almonds.
And done. Happy birthday to all the wonderful people in my world that are celebrating this week!
Great recipe! I just made this cake and I have to say it is probably the best chocolate cake I have made. IT is very moist and flavorful. This is definitly going to become one of my go to recipes!
I’m glad that you liked it! It feels kind of nice to eat some sweet and tasty and know that it isn’t *entirely* bad for you
Your cake looks great, Rachel!! I haven’t gone with the 2-layer version yet… but you’ve just convinced me I should try it!! Thanks for the shout-out…
Good luck! The cake tasted AMAZING, but it left a bit to be desired in the looks department. All the best!
