In the TM, mill the Natvia (sugar substitute) into icing sugar - 10 sec, SP 9 - and set aside.
Puree the drained Red Kidney Beans, water/coffee, egg whites and vanilla extract until smooth - 30 sec, SP 7.
Scrape down the sides of the TM and puree again - approx 20 seconds, SP 7.
Add the apple puree (butter substitute) and Natvia - 30 sec, SP 5.
Add the remaining egg whites - 20 sec, SP 4.
Scrape down the sides of the TM.
Add bean mixture - 5 sec, SP 4.
Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and blend - 10 sec, SP 4.
Scrape down the sides of the TM and blend again - 10 sec, SP 4.
Pour batter into a lined and greased ring tin pan and bake in a 180 degree Celsius oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Calorie Count: Using the above substituted ingredients, the total kilojoule/calorie count for 12 servings was 3042 kj, or 727 calories, which is for 253.5 kilojoules, or 60.5 calories for each serve.
Tip
Note: This is an extremely moist version of the original recipe. The baking tin (even a silicone one) would benefit from being lined with non-stick baking paper to make the cake removal easier and less likely to fall apart.
I used silicon muffin tins and made the recipe as muffins; the yield was 15 muffins (48 cal - with no icing/topping). The bottom of the muffins tended to stick to the base of the muffin tin and the top of the muffins were very unattractive but I didn't care as they still tasted outrageous, so I iced them with a vanilla/caramel/chocolate frosting... but don't forget that any frosting or topping you add will significantly increase the calorie count!

I needed to make a dessert for family dinner tonight and really wanted to try the magic bean chocolate cake but... I was all out of butter! I thought I would just have to buy something when I came across this clone. I no longer feel the need to make the other recipe; this one was so easy and much healthier too! I did not have stevia so had to use normal raw sugar and I also pureed my own large green apple using the EDC recipe. I used one can of ALDI kidney beans. My cake only stuck to the circular pan a little but I did spray it better than I usually do. Dusted the finished product with some icing sugar just for looks. I am looking forward to my families’ reaction tonight and to see if any of them can guess the magic ingredient
Amazing! So yummy and guilt free (if you stick to one slice)
Hi there
i love your tweaks to my recipe, it's always good to put a personal stamp on things but would you mind removing my photo and using one of your own? Much appreciated. Sarah Wong, the magic bean cake original. www.clevercook.net.au

Just made this for my fussy kids and the totally loved it!
Made these into delicious muffins - worked a treat!
I have made this cake twice now, once with the version above and today with a version also on the recipe community site with goji berries and majolica dates instead of the sweetener, which is just sampled, both are fantastic and very easy and quick to make, everyone is always sooo shocked with the ingredients, which I only divulge after they have eaten it. Great for my nephew and myself, with me being GF and him being Lactose intolerant. Thanks for a great recipe.
This cake was fantastic! About to try it out again on some unsuspecting visitors.......
