Tip

This decadent, rich cake doesn't need any icing and is delicious served warm or cool with a dollop of coconut cream icecream or cream and berries. Or just plain by itself! The butterbeans are undetectable and blend up well making this a lovely gluten free cake. 

The Maca Powder helps balance women's hormones along with everyone's favourite treat...dark chocolate! A great cake to make for your girlfriends tmrc_emoticons.-) Lasts well if kept in the fridge in hot weather...only tested up to 3 days before it was all eaten by my husband and friends!

    Rich and delicious chocolate cake!I only discovered this recipe because I was trying to find ways to hide the taste of maca! This is the perfect way to do that! I followed the recipe exactly, execept for adding 3 heaped tablespoons of maca instead of the 4 (just to get used to the taste of maca)

    This cake was surprisingly nice and I'll be making it again! Next time I'll get it out of the oven after 30 mins. (I checked it and it was still a little moist at 30 mins, so I gave it an extra 5 mins...however, I think it would be even nicer with slightly less time!  tmrc_emoticons.)

    Omgeeee amazing!!! I was very doubtful about all the fuss but this cake is amazing! So moist and so delicious. Very similar to my mums rich devils food cake but much healthier.
