Black Bean Cake

This black bean cake recipe is so good, you won’t even taste its not-so-secret main ingredient: black beans. Made with coconut sugar instead of processed white sugar, it’s the perfect healthy way to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Also, Instead of making frosting, I waited until the cake was cool and then sprinkled just a touch of powdered sugar on top (just enough to add a little sweetness). And then I made a side of chocolate whipped cream.
