Dumb question here!

[Occamstazer]

About the black bean chocolate cake...is that two cups *dry* beans?

That's a lot of beans

Since it says you can substitute canned beans, I was confused. Two cups soaked, two cups dry?

 

[Dace]

Should be two cups soaked and re hydrated beans....a can is 15 oz I believe, just a hair under two cups

 

[Occamstazer]

Aha! Thanks

 

[freemotion]

Cooked beans! Cooked beans! You need to make the cake with cooked beans!!!!

I hope you heard me shouting before you made the cake!!!

Naturally as soon as I posted this, I saw the recipe detail bit about how one can beans can be used instead of soaked dry ones.
Must have read that page 50 times, and NOW I see it...

 

[Dace]

Yikes! Yes, cooked!!!!

 

[okiegirl1]

just thinking of the look on people's faces if you made it with two cups dry beans....

"oh..... (crunch, crunch, crunch) yea..... this is reall good"

 

[abifae]

LOL Okiegirl. About as good as accidentally using garlic oil instead of regular oil in brownies??



My sister did that once...

I knew the beans had to be cooked!

I just didn't know if it meant to soak and prepare 2 cups dry beans, or use two cups soaked and prepared beans. Two very different quantities.

 

[Dace]

Whew!

I was worried that you might use rehydrated, but uncooked beans
