Rich Dense Chocolate Cake (Gluten and Dairy Free)
- 7 ounces, weight Dairy Free Chocolate (If You Do Not Need Dairy Free, Any Good Quality Semi-sweet Chocolate Will Do)
- 4 whole Eggs
- 1 can (15 Oz. Can) Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans, Drained
- 1 teaspoon Good Quality Vanilla Essence
- 1- 3/4 cup Sugar (I Used 1 Cup Raw Cane Sugar And 3/4 Cup Brown)
- 1/2 teaspoons Gluten Free Baking Powder
- Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).
- Grease and flour a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan.
- Melt chocolate in a microwave safe container in 30-second bursts at 50% power.
- Stir after each 30-second burst and return if necessary.
- In a food processor or blender, mix eggs, chickpeas and vanilla essence until smooth.
- Add sugar and baking powder and blend until very well combined.
- Pour in melted chocolate and blend again.
- Pour mixture into prepared cake pan.
- Bake for 40 minutes until an inserted cake skewer comes out clean.
- It is going to be moist though, so be careful not to over-bake.
- Cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing from pan.
- A cautionary warning: the cake is tricky to handle, and Ive found it best to invert onto a plate to get it out of the pan and then invert again onto your desired serving plate.
- Delicious topped with strawberries and dusted liberally with confectioners sugar.
- If you are fine with dairy, it would also be wonderful with whipped cream or ice cream.
