Rich chocolate brownie cake (beans)

The lean/vegan version of this cake is described here

Chocolate cake “like Prague”, without flour

Can be used for a low-carbohydrate diet (weight control)

The taste of the cake amazing, despite the unusual nature of the recipe. It melts in your mouth… I strongly recommend baking the cake in advance to let it stand. The taste is very reminiscent of our "Prague" (and the calorie content, of course, is less - everything is indicated below in the nutritional information).

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Baking time: 45 - 50 minutes

Servings - 12

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups cooked black beans or 1 can canned
• 5 large eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract (gluten free) or can be substituted with rum or cognac, I use ¼ cup cognac. (Alcohol will evaporate during baking)
• ½ tsp salt
• 6 tbsp organic ghee or coconut oil, previously melted to a liquid state (important not to overheat)
• ½ cup coconut sugar or honey or agave syrup
• 6 tbsp cocoa powder without sugar
• ½ tsp soda
• 1 tbsp water (if using honey, agave syrup and alcohol, no water is needed)
• powdered sugar for sprinkling or icing

For glaze:

¼ cup apricot or raspberry jam (preferably no added sugar or 100% fruit)

• dark chocolate bar without milk and additives
• 3-4 tablespoons vegan milk or casein-free cream

Cooking:

How to prepare a baking dish

1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees (325 F). Lightly grease a baking dish (diameter approx. 23 cm) with vegetable oil (or melted butter). Sprinkle the inside with cocoa powder. Put a circle of parchment on the bottom (according to the size of the form). Lightly oil.

2. Rinse the beans (if using canned) and place in a blender along with 3 eggs, salt and vanilla (or cognac). Turn on the blender and grind the beans at maximum power to a homogeneous state (there should not be the slightest pieces of it).

3. In a bowl, mix cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda together.

4. In a mixer, beat butter with sugar (or honey or agave syrup) until creamy. Add the remaining 3 eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition for a minute.

5. Pour the bean mass into the egg mixture. Mix well. Then add the dry ingredients (cocoa mixture) and water (if using) and beat the dough at maximum speed for one minute or until smooth.

6. Pour the dough into the prepared mold. Smooth the surface, then lift and tap the mold several times on the surface of the table. This will help get rid of unnecessary air bubbles in the dough and avoid "bloating" in the finished cake.

7. Bake for 40-45 minutes. The center of the cake should be firm to the touch.

8. Allow the finished cake to cool for 10 minutes in the form. Then turn over (or loosen the shape and pull out) the cake. Allow to cool to room temperature. Then wrap it in a plastic film and hold for 8-10 hours. Thus, there will be no trace of the bean presence! I recommend that you do not skip this step.

9. This time I did not layer the cake. But if desired, the cake can be cut into two layers. I usually do as shown in the picture - with a special long knife. And you can use the method of fishing line (or thick thread). Photo explanations are given below. As a cream filling, you can use dietary Nutella or cashew “creamy” cream.

10. Connect the cakes, layering them with cream. Level the top surface with a knife and grease with slightly heated jam. Then spread evenly with frosting.

For glaze: Melt a bar of dark chocolate (without milk or additives) in a water bath and gradually pour in the vegan milk or cream, stirring until the desired smooth consistency (if necessary, you can add more milk - depending on how melted your chocolate is). Allow to cool slightly and evenly pour the icing over the top of the cake, grease the sides. Let cool slightly and serve with fruit.
