Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the sour cream: Mix all the ingredients together and set aside.

- For the vegetables: Saute all ingredients in a medium saute pan in the oil over medium-high and set aside to cool down.
- For the patties: Take about 3/4 cup black beans after they have cooled and put into food processor and pulse until the beans break apart but don't form a big ball of mush.
- Add the beans to the sauteed vegetables and mix in the flour, cumin, salt and pepper, and adobo and form into 6 to 8 patties.
- Add enough oil to coat a medium saute pan and place over medium-high heat. Add 2 to 3 patties and cook for about 1 minute, and then turn and sear the other sides for 1 more minute. The patties should have a golden brown crust. Place into the oven for about 4 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. When it is hot, add the onion and cook until soft and lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl or plate, and stir in the Essence. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash the black beans well with the back of a fork -- the mixture should be relatively smooth, with no whole beans remaining. Stir in the cooled onion mixture, cilantro, egg, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and hot sauce and mix well. Divide the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties (about 1/3 cup each).
- Heat the remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, dust the patties in the seasoned flour mixture and carefully transfer them to the hot skillet (the cakes will be delicate). Cook the cakes until golden brown on both sides and heated through, about 2 minutes per side.
- If necessary, season with more salt. Garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.

BLACK BEAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
Healthy yet deviously delicious. I got this off of the Soma Studio website. No one believes me when I say it's flourless. I usually make it with a decadent chocolate icing, but I've made it with chocolate avocado icing and it was still scrumptious.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease 9" cake pan and dust with cocoa powder, tapping to evenly distribute.
- Drain and rinse beans. Shake off excess water.
- I use handheld mixer to pulverize beans smooth.
- Add in 3 of the eggs, vanilla, salt and continue mixing. When smooth, add in coconut oil and honey. Add in last 2 eggs.
- In separate bowl, sift in cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder and then add to the wet ingredients
- Beat on high until you achieve a nice smooth consistency. Approx 1 minute.
- Scrape batter into pan and rap on counter a few times to free any bubbles.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cake is done when top is rounded, firm to touch and toothpick comes out clean.
- LET CAKE SIT OVERNIGHT IF POSSIBLE or at least 8 hours. It's not a ready-eat-right-away type of cake.
- Frost with favorite frosting and enjoy.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe black beans. You can cook your own black beans or use canned beans. If using canned beans, be sure to rinse and drain them well.
- If you don't have any fresh cilantro on hand, you can use dried cilantro. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried cilantro is more concentrated.
- If you want your potato cakes to be extra crispy, you can shallow fry them in a pan with a little bit of oil. Just be sure to cook them over medium heat so that they don't burn.
- Serve the potato cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
Conclusion:
Black bean and potato cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They're perfect for any occasion, from casual get-togethers to formal parties. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give these potato cakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
