CHOCOLATE GARBANZO BEAN CAKE
I actually saw this mentioned on a Weight Watchers board and found the recipe online. I didn't find it on RecipeZarr, so I thought I would add it. My friend calls it Chocolate F*rt Cake! It is different and one way to get some fiber in your diet. I am sure you could play around with an egg substitute and Splenda.

Steps:

Tips:
- Choose the right beans: Use dried chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, for the best texture and flavor. Dried beans are more flavorful and have a lower glycemic index than canned beans, making them a healthier choice.
- Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce their cooking time. Make sure to rinse the beans well before cooking.
- Use a high-power blender: A high-power blender is essential for getting a smooth and creamy batter. If you don't have a high-power blender, you can use a food processor, but you may need to blend the batter for longer.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at a high temperature: Baking the cake at a high temperature helps to create a crispy crust and a moist, tender interior.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Garbanzo bean chocolate cake is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional chocolate cake. It's made with wholesome ingredients like chickpeas, cocoa powder, and maple syrup, and it's packed with protein and fiber.
