Serving Size: 12

Cooking Time: 70 minutes

Ingredients

• 1.5 Cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 19 Ounces (oz) can garbanzo beans, drained
• 4 Whole eggs
• 0.75 Cups white sugar
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) baking powder
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds after 1 minute. If you have a powerful microwave, reduce the power to 50 percent.
3. Combine garbanzo beans and eggs in the bowl of a food processor; process until smooth. Add sugar and baking powder; pulse to blend. Pour in melted chocolate; process until smooth, scraping corners to ensure the chocolate is completely mixed. Transfer batter to the prepared cake pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Dust with sifted confectioners' sugar just before serving.
