The secret ingredient in my flourless chocolate cake is...
CHICKPEA!!!
I always think of the movie Nell when I hear the word chickpea. Anyone else ? :)
The cake is mostly made of ground chickpea, yet tastes deliciously fudgey with a slight nutty hint. I was ready to just serve the cake to my in-laws without commenting on the secret ingredient, but then Bill reminded me that sometimes beans can reek havoc on stomachs, especially in those who live GF. I cautiously told everyone, and boy were they hesitant! After a few minutes of silence Bill's father asked for another slice and said, "I'll be honest... I really didn't want to like that cake, but I did!"
Who knew you could make a CAKE made almost entirely out of BEANS? Even if you aren't a Celiac there's a huge benefit to replacing hard to digest wheat with other ingredients, such a beans, that have higher protein and fiber contents.
I'm beginning to wonder what other foods can be used for baking that we haven't thought to use yet. Ohhhh... the possibilities!
