1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
4 eggs

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
