This cake confuses people, they're surprised to learn that it's made from beans. I added the topping to make it look nicer and richer. Taken from May 1998 Veggie Life magazine.

The cake didn't rise very much. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The cake was a little dry. I think I should have added more oil or butter to the batter.

This cake is a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This is a great recipe for a healthier chocolate cake. The chickpeas add a lot of nutrients and fiber, without sacrificing any of the flavor.
