## Ingredients

- black beans, rinsed
- salt
- baking soda
- honey
- vanilla
- coffee or hot water
- eggs
- cocoa powder
- melted butter
- cherry pie filling
- thickener (for compote, half the amount for pie filling)
- heavy cream (for whipped cream)
- maple syrup (for whipped cream)
- mascarpone cream or cream cheese

## Instructions

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

## Equipment

- blender
- cake pan (9x9 or 8x8 square inch)
- oven
- fridge
- Rada tomato knife or similar round object (for poking holes)

## Tips

- Rinse black beans with cold water to avoid a 'bean juice' taste.
