HG FYI: Truvia spoonable calorie-free sweetener is about twice as sweet as sugar. If using a no-calorie granulated sweetener that measures cup-for-cup like sugar instead of Truvia, double the amount called for in this recipe.
Black beans are the best thing to happen to baked goods since canned pumpkin! You won't believe how delicious this chocolate cake is. And NO, you can't taste the black beans -- just rich chocolatey deliciousness. Game-changing recipe here, people...
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 40 minutes
Cool: 1 hour
Ingredients:
One 15-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup (about 4 large) egg whites
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup canned pure pumpkin
1/4 cup Truvia spoonable calorie-free sweetener (or another no-calorie granulated sweetener; see HG FYI)
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9" round cake pan with foil, and generously spray with nonstick spray.
Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor. Puree until completely smooth and uniform.
Fold in 1 tbsp. chocolate chips.
Spread mixture into the baking pan, and smooth out the top.
Evenly top with remaining 2 tbsp. chocolate chips, and lightly press into the batter.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, 35 - 40 minutes.
Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
Refrigerate leftovers. (This cake tastes great chilled.)
