  • ( Scored on 0 reviews )

A chocolate cake made with beans instead of flour? Well yes! if you have never tried to make a cake with legumes, this simple recipe is right for you!
In recent years, legumes have been entitled to enter the pantry of pastry lovers, especially those who are into vegan desserts.

The chocolate bean cake that we propose today is not vegan because it involves the use of eggs, but it is delicious, very similar to a brownie and above all very easy.

The result of just a few steps and very simple ingredients is really amazing: a really chocolaty chocolate cake, in which the beans replace the flour and help to give a melt-in-the-mouth texture to the cake.
