Black bean chocolate cake

Not your typical chocolate cake however it has a dense texture and is a healthy alternative, it is gluten and dairy free and because you're using the whole cooked bean, it is high in soluble fibre and minerals. 

Ingredients:

• 450g cooked black beans (AKA turtle beans, can use canned)
• 1 banana
• 3 eggs (free range, organic preferred)
• 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
• 3 tbs of ricebran or grapeseed oil
• 1/8 tsp salt (preferably Himalayan sea salt)
• 1 1/2 tsp each of baking powder and baking soda
• 1/3 cup rapadura sugar or organic honey

Directions:

This is the easy part.. just whizz everything in a food processor until smooth consistency and pour into a greased/lined rectangular pan.

Bake on 180C until cooked through (about 20-30 mins) - test by pressing and seeing if it bounces back.

I also choose to put an icing on consisting of 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1 tbsp cacao powder and stevia - melt in a pan and pour over the cake in the tin, it keeps the cake moist.
