50g cocoa powder
400g can red kidney beans, drained and well rinsed
125g brown sugar
75ml coconut oil (or another odourless oil like sunflower)
100g (rice) flour (I used normal plain white and it turned out top notch)
3 large eggs (VEGAN – crush 1tbsp of chia seeds in your pestle and mortar, or use chia powder, and add enough water to just cover the powder. Set aside for minimum 10 minutes for it so soak up)
pinch of salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180c/Gas Mark 4.
Lightly oil a 20cm cake tin (preferably springform, otherwise use greaseproof paper) and line the base with greaseproof paper/baking parchment.
Blend the oil, beans, egg or egg substitute and vanilla essence in a blender.
Sieve together the cocoa, baking powder and sugar.
Pour the liquid mix into the dry mix and whisk until combined.
Pour the mixture into your cake tin evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes – check it, and whisk it quickly out of the oven as soon as your skewer comes out only just clean. This is best slightly underdone, not overdone!

First, gluten free chocolate cake with cream, chocolate and eggs - no nuts. Make the day before if possible:
1 cup whipping cream
2 1/2 cups high quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips*
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons bourbon vanilla extract* or see notes
7 organic free-range eggs
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Organic cacao powder with maca, for dusting
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line the inside bottom of a 9-inch Springform cake pan with a circle of parchment paper. Wrap a large piece of foil around the outside of the pan, covering the bottom and sides, to catch any leaking drips. Set aside.
In a medium sauce pan, gently heat the cream over low heat. When the cream is fairly hot, melt the chocolate chips by adding them slowly to the pan as you whisk. Add the butter, in pieces. Whisk until the chocolate and butter are melted. Add the vanilla extract. As soon as the mixture is melted, smooth, and glossy remove it from the heat.
Using a wire whisk attachment, beat the eggs, light brown sugar and sea salt until the eggs are foamy and doubled in volume, roughly 3-4 minutes. (This is where a KitchenAid stand mixer comes in handy.)
Slowly add the cooling chocolate mixture to the eggs, and beat gently until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake in the center of a pre-heated oven for one hour, until the cake is set and cracked. It will still appear a bit loose in the center, underneath. This is fine.
Place the cake pan on a wire rack to cool. When the cake is close to room temperature, lightly cover and chill the cake overnight.
Before serving, gently loosen the cake from the sides of the pan using a thin flexible spatula. Release the Springform clasp and remove the ring. Place the cake on a cake plate.
Dust the cake with a sifting of cacao powder with maca.
Cook time: 1 hour
Yield: 18 thin slices- this cake is super rich!
Then Nirvana slices - coconut, biscuit crumbs, almonds, condensed milk
1/2 cup butter or vegan buttery stick, such as Earth Balance
1 1/2 cups gluten-free chocolate cookies, processed into crumbs
1 cup (heaping) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup chopped roasted almonds (I used salted because I like a sweet and salt combo)
1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Place the butter in a 9x13-inch baking pan and set it in the oven until the butter is melted. Tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Sprinkle the cookie crumbs in the buttered pan and toss them to coat; press them into a layer. Pour the condensed milk in the pan. Add a layer of chocolate chips, then a layer of coconut, then almonds. Using the back of a spatula, press the mixture firmly into the pan.
I usually sprinkle a few extra chips on the top, and gently press them in. Why not?
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 to 25 minutes, until set.
Cool completely on a wire rack. Chill before cutting.
Makes 15 to 20 bars.
I usually mix it up and cut some larger, some smaller. And I always cut up a couple of "tiny bites" to wrap and freeze for a small, quick treat - when I crave something sweet, but don't need much.
And Brownies:
Cool on a wire rack; and remove the cooled brownies from the pan by gripping the foil edges and lifting the brownies out as a whole.
Chill for an hour before cutting. (Though warm and gooey is really divine, if you don't mind them falling apart.)

1/2 cup organic coconut oil
1 cup light brown sugar (not packed)
1/2 cup almond meal
1/4 cup sorghum flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 organic free-range eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla*
Optional:
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired
Dark chocolate chips for the top, if desired
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat, gently stirring. (Or melt in a microwave safe measuring cup and stir together to combine.)
In a mixing bowl whisk together the brown sugar, almond meal, sorghum flour, fine sea salt and baking soda. Make a well in the center and add the beaten eggs, vanilla extract and melted dark chocolate mixture. Beat on low-medium for two minutes, until the batter begins to come together. At first it will seem thin, like cake batter, but keep beating until it thickens and becomes smooth and glossy.

If you are adding nuts, stir in the nuts by hand and spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. Even out the batter with a silicone spatula.
Stud the top with some dark chocolate chips and press in slightly.
Bake in the center of a preheated 350ºF oven for 32 to 35 minutes, or until the brownies are set. The top will crack, like a flourless chocolate cake.
Cool on a wire rack; and remove the cooled brownies from the pan by gripping the foil edges and lifting the brownies out as a whole.
Chill for an hour before cutting. (Though warm and gooey is really divine, if you don't mind them falling apart.)
Yield: 16 servings
*For chocolate-mint brownies use 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
