Chickpeas Chocolate Cake

I was curious about this cake and tried it.

Ingredients
800g Cooked chickpeas (2x cans)
200g peanut butter
120ml maple syrup
2 teaspoons of baking powder
2g salt
100g chocolate 90% chopped roughly

Decoration
150g melted chocolate 90%
150g peanuts crushed

Process:

  • Pre-heat oven at 190C
  • Put all ingredients together but the chopped chocolate in a food processor.
  • Once it is all mixed (it is like a very dense peanut butter), add the chocolate chips and mix with a spoon.
  • Pour the mix into a mold of 25x10cm with parchment paper.
  • Bake at 190C for 40-45m
  • While it cools down, prepare the decoration. Melt chocolate using “mary bath” (you can add a bit of butter to make more glossy).
  • Add the crashed peanuts to the chocolate and pour it over the cold cake. Spread in all sides.
  • Let it cool down again.

Before getting into the oven

After letting it cool down:

To be honest, it is not very sweet. I used 90% chocolate but still is tasty. So you can put a bit more maple syrup and 70-80% chocolate.

It goes great with a glass of milk or even whipped cream!

This cake is a protein bomb!
