Chocolate Cake- No Flour, No Sugar

This chocolate cake has no grain whatsoever in it, or sugar for that
matter. It has black beans (I promise it doesn't taste like beans at
all!), and xylitol and stevia for the sweetener.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
1-15 ounce can black beans
5 large eggs or 6 medium eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons unsalted organic butter OR extra virgin coconut oil
1/2 cup xylitol, and
2 tsp. stevia (or stevia to taste- brand potency really varies.)
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon water
Preparation:
Oven: 325F. Spray a 9" cake pan with nonstick spray.

Drain and rinse beans in a strainer or colander. Shake off excess water. Place beans, 3 of the eggs and vanilla. Blend on high until beans are completely liquefied. No lumps! Whisk together cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Beat butter with xylitol and stevia until light and fluffy. Add remaining two eggs, beating for a minute after each addition. Pour bean batter into egg mixture and mix. Finally, stir in cocoa powder and water (if using), and beat the batter on high for one minute, until smooth.

Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cake is done with the top is rounded and firm to the touch.

this is great gurl! So happy you put this up! I love beans and would love to pass this by my family on my P4 coming up! Did you come up with this recipe, btw? Luv ya!♥

[HCGChica]

@MsHcGGirl This is not my recipe really- it's adapted from a recipe I found on a food blog, who had also adapted their recipe from some low carb forum or something.

I will be making this cake tomorrow! Thanks for sharing and video logging it for us. I am on P4D30 but really could just say I am P3D51 because I have yet to really move into P4. Anxious to try this out.

[HCGChica]

@twilafern Yeah it's nice because it's pretty low carb and won't do nearly the damage that a lot of desserts would.

xylitol is not good for you.

AWESOME! Wonderful taste, easy recipe and so moist It didn't even need any frosting. I made 2 changes:

- Replaced the stevia with another 1/4 cup of xylitol. -

- I made them in muffin cups instead of a full cake. (Use paper liners though, they stuck even in a silicone muffin pan.)

I admit some doubt, especially while working with the black beans. But you were absolutely right. Now I'm going to have fun having friends try them and guess the ingredients ;-D.

Thank you so much.

I start p3 tomorrow. I will try my best to wait 3 weeks to make it, when I do I will report back. I am going to tell my husband it is low carb only and see if he like likes it. If I tell him it has black beans in it he won't even try it. :)
