Vegan Vanilla Va-va-voom cake

What? Beans in a cake recipe? Yes! The beans make it perfectly moist and add protein and fibre.  I'm not vegan but anything that will let me lick the bowl without worrying about raw eggs is a winner for me!

1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed well
1 c of water
¾ c of sugar
1 c of white flour
1 c of oat flour
¼ tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of baking powder
1 tbsp of vanilla extract
1 tsp of almond extract
2 tbsp of vinegar
Optional: 1 tbsp of anise seeds


Blend the beans with the water in a blender. Pour into a large bowl adding vanilla, almond extract and vinegar. In other bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Mix bowl B into bowl A.


Pour into a greased tin and bake for 45 minutes at 350 F.

Let cool before slicing.


To use honey instead of sugar, use ½ cup of honey and reduce the water by a ¼ cup.
