Flourless Chocolate Cake Can Be Healthy?!

Yes!  2 desserts in a row, I must be hormonal!  This was actually for my son who is mostly gluten/dairy free and a complete choc-o-holic.  Most of my healthified desserts like this TASTE healthy, not this one, and shockingly, it is the healthiest!

Blend (in a blender:) until smooth:

½ cup honey

1 Tbs vanilla

½ cup date puree*

2/3 cup real mayo (or 4 eggs, 1/3 cup liquid fat** and 1 tsp vinegar)

1 can black beans-drained

combine in a separate bowl then add to the blender and blend again until smooth:

½ cup cocoa

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp sea salt

Bake at 350 in a oiled and cocoa dusted 8x8 or 9x9” pan for about 28 minutes, or until the middle isn't jiggly.  As soon as you take it out of the oven, sprinkle ¾ cup chocolate chips on the top, wait 30 minutes then spread like frosting.

*Date Puree-pour boiling water over pitted dates (any kind) and soak for at least 15 minutes, puree with just enough water to make smooth like applesauce.  Use in replace of half of the sweetener and fat in recipes. You could also use babyfood prunes the same way.

**Melted butter or any liquid cooking oil.
