Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
    1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
    4 eggs
    3/4 cup white sugar
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting

    Look for labeling on chocolate chips and baking powder to be sure ingredients are truly gluten free if serving to people with severe allergies.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch round cake pan.
Place the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds after the first minute, until chocolate is melted and smooth. If you have a powerful microwave, reduce the power to 50 percent.
Combine the beans and eggs in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Add the sugar and the baking powder, and pulse to blend. Pour in the melted chocolate and blend until smooth, scraping down the corners to make sure chocolate is completely mixed. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

    This is AMAZIng! Has consistency similar to a brownie. I put it into two torte pans then layered after cooling, to get a thinker cake. Yum...very sweet though, keep in mind if you frost it. - 10/14/12

    Incredible!
    I am sensitive to wheat, so this delicious recipe is a real life saver. I substituted 3/4 cup cocoa and 3/4 cup of coconut oil and 1 cup of splenda. I increased the eggs to 4 and added 2 tspns. vanilla flavoring. - 4/14/13
