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!
