Chickpea Cake

I think it is only about 1/2 syn per whole cake, on green. someone at my class last week bought one in as a taster but used almond extract and it was yum. Hard to believe it is made out of chick peas.

Recipe makes 8 servings

250 g Chick Peas, Tinned
5 g Vanilla Extract, or Almond extract
1 Tsp/2g Baking Powder
3 Egg/168g Eggs, Medium
100g Cheese, Quark
25 g Sweetener, Granulated

Pre heat oven to 180 degrees

Spray a 7 inch cake tin with fry light and leave to one side.

Drain the chick peas and rinse thoroughly with water. Place the chickpeas in a blender and blend until smooth then add the eggs and blend again.

Add the sweetener, vanilla extract and baking powder. Blend again until mixed in.

Place the mixture in the tin and bake in the over for 20 mins or until it has risen and is firm to touch. Take out the oven and leave to cool.

Whilst the cake is cooling place one tub of quark in a bowl and add sweetener to taste then mix together.

Once the cake has cooled cut in half and add half the quark mixture and sandwich the 2 halves together.

Spread the remaining quark on top of the cake and add some fresh fruit for decoration.
