I have the beans lactofermented and cooked. Can't wait to try the cake! I would call this healthfood and eat it for breakfast with strongly brewed black tea. Mmmmm...

Ok, Ok I'll make the bean cake. You all finally convinced me. But what do they mean by "warmed butter". room temp? I guess I will make the yogurt first.
Free, I think you said if you had no whey you could just through in some yogurt. Is that correct?

Yup! It is a great place to use up whey, so we tend to go there first if we have it.

Thanks for the info. I have a everything in the blender except the butter. Mine was really thick. My blender was not to happy. We will see how it is with the addition of the honey and eggs.

So, I finally made this Black Bean Chocolate Cake last night. I got tired of forgetting to soak dried beans, so I used canned. 
I did use Free's method of reducing honey and adding liquid Stevia (mine was Vanilla flavored).
I started the process around 9 pm, so I didn't get to taste it until this morning and then it was plain without whipped cream or other topping.
WOW! I am impressed. This is very good.
My mother thought it could be a bit sweeter, but I really liked it. You don't miss the flour. I'll make it again, I'm sure.

My kids decided it was too "rich" for them.... So now if I make it I will be the only one eating it. A
million times better for you than brownies, but I
could eat the whole batch in just a couple days
I love it with a dallop of
freshly whipped cream!

This was the best recipe to make it to my files in a long time!
Becca, now that you know how good it is, you'll be soaking beans! I made up a bunch and put them in the freezer in "one cake" portions. I'll also be canning some more to save freezer room for pig and chicken by fall.
Dace...a good carb serving!!!!
