A Chocolate Cake

Yesterday we had a friend over to experiment with baking a wholesome, dairy and gluten free, chocolate cake. This delicious cake contained no flour of any kind. Our friend had discovered the recipe on the internet, and we had all the ingredients. It was a lot of fun, and it turned out amazingly well. It actually tasted, smelled, and looked just like a white flour, white sugar, and butter cake. You will never guess what was in it, so I'll tell you. This lovely cake was made of two 15 oz. cans of black beans! It was quite good, too. After spending the afternoon baking the cake, we devoured a quarter of it in about five minutes. I'll even confess to going back for seconds.

Since our family has quite a few diet restrictions, it was really neat to make a cake that we could all partake of that also tasted like the real thing. However, too much of a good thing is not a good thing. With that in mind, we sent the rest of the cake home with our friend. She decided to give it to her family without telling them what it contained. I can't wait to hear what they thought of the chocolate cake. If you would like the recipe, let me know. I promise that you won't be able to tell what it is made from.
