CTF the longest running traditional foods Menu Mailer on the internet.  We have served up hundreds of recipes in the past four years and we look forward to many more!

To celebrate, how about some cake?  Chocolate cake is my favorite. I promise that they’ll never guess it’s chickpeas in this cake!  I served this over the holidays the last two years in a row.  It was a hit, even with guests who don’t like chickpeas or other beans.  The density and texture is similar to a pound cake.  This recipe is too thick to do in a blender, you’ll need a food processor.

Chocolate Chickpea Cake            

Hands-on: 15 minutes
Hands-off: 35 minutes

1½ cups sprouted or soaked and cooked chickpeas
3 eggs
¾ cup or more rapadura
1/3 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
Dash salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease an 8”x4” loaf pan and set aside.

Combine the chickpeas, eggs and rapadura in a food processor and blend until smooth.  Add the remaining ingredients and blend until uniform, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.  Pour into the greased loaf pan and bake for about 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Serve in slices like pound cake or decorate as desired.

This can also be baked in a 9” round cake pan if you don’t have the right size loaf pan.  Watch for doneness after 35 minutes.  If you don’t have cocoa powder, you can substitute 1½ cups chocolate chips and melt in a double boiler and blend with the chickpeas and cut down on the sweetener.

      I find with chocolate, you can only go about half rapadura and half stevia or it can make the chocolate bitter tasting. So I’d drop it to a little over 1/3 cup rapadura, mix it up with the stevia, taste and adjust.

    Could you use all honey instead of rapadura? Would I have to reduce liquids then?
    thanks!

      Yes, you’ll have to cut the liquids and you’ll also need to adjust the leavening by adding some baking soda. You also have to drop the baking temperature. Unfortunately, substituting honey takes some experimentation to get it right.

  • This is what love looks like. With the exception of the lip balms and Monin syrups which I purchased and had sent to my moms house before we had to leave our home, all of these items have been purchased for us by friends who are helping us through this crisis. It’s all basics and necessities. Clothing, shoes, personal care. Sheets and bedding. Kitchen items, towels. And it is a BLESSING!  Losing everything has been so tough.
