Recipe's preparation

  1. Pre-heat oven to 160c fan-forced

    Add butter and sugar into TM bowl and beat SP 5 30 seconds

    Add the eggs, vanilla and water/coffee & beat for 20 seconds SP 4.

    Add drained chickpeas SP 7 20 seconds.

    Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarb soda, and salt and blend SP 4 20 seconds until well combined.

    Pour batter into greased ring tin pan or cake tin. Place TM bowl back in the TM and spin SP4 3 sec, scrape out last bit of mixture and add to cake tin. Bake 160C fan-forced oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. 

Tip

This cake is wonderfully moist and works with most canned beans. If you use a round tin it will take a few minutes longer to bake.

You can also use oil instead of butter to make it dairy free - but butter is better!!

    This says 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract? Is that correct? Perhaps it is becuase of the chick peas but I imagine with red kidney beans it will only need 1 teaspoon? Thanks

    Haven't made this yet, but is there supposed to be any flour in it. As I want to try it maybe this weekend.

    I make this every week for my kids swim team all they all love it! It's soft and moist and is a real crowd pleaser when baked in a bundt tin.

    I use kidney beans instead of chick pead and minus out the sugar and use honey. Totally love this fab recipe. I'll never make a 'regular' chocolate cake again!!

    This is the best chocolate cake I have ever made. So moist and  no one guessed the secret ingredient of chick peas!

    A beautiful moist cake, but I will cut back on the cocoa next time - very rich.
