Serves 1
Directions
- 1Add rinsed black beans, salt, baking soda, honey, vanilla, coffee (or hot water), eggs, cocoa powder, and melted butter into a blender.
- 2Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and thin.
- 3Pour the blended batter into a 9x9 or 8x8 square inch cake pan.
- 4Bake the cake in the oven until done (baking time is not specified but is mentioned as not taking long).
- 5While the cake is baking, prepare the cherry compote by using cherry pie filling and half the amount of thickener you would typically use for a pie filling.
- 6Once the cake is baked, let it cool off completely, and also ensure the cherry compote is cold. Placing both in the fridge can speed up the cooling process.
- 7Once the cake is cooled, use a round object (like the handle of a Rada tomato knife) to poke holes into the cake.
- 8Pour the cold cherry compote over the top of the cake and spread it out evenly.
- 9Whip up some heavy cream, adding maple syrup (instead of powdered sugar) and vanilla to sweeten it.
- 10Add a container of mascarpone cream (or cream cheese) to the whipped cream mixture and whip until fully incorporated and desired taste is achieved.
- 11Spread the whipped mascarpone cream mixture on top of the cherry compote layer.
- 12Cut a piece and serve.
