Vanilla Bean Yellow Cake:   

Recipe from: www.thespunkycoconut.com

Ingredients:

2 cups room temperature cooked beans, like navy or great northern. Note: If your beans are cold from the fridge, put them in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes, then strain.
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup coconut flour OR other type of flour
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 & 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

*If you like a sweeter cake then add ½ teaspoon vanilla liquid stevia

Instructions:

1. Set the oven to 325°F, and line a 9 inch square pan with unbleached parchment paper on the bottom only. Set aside.

2. Add the beans, and eggs the food processor fitted with the S blade. Puree until completely smooth.

3. Add the rest of the ingredients and puree until smooth.

4. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out mostly clean.

5. Allow to cool, then transfer to a plate.

6. Add your choice of frosting.

*I’ve made these into delicious 18 cupcakes. Just makes sure to grease your muffin pan and bake cupcakes for 18-22 minutes. I also add a bit more honey to this recipe since I do not have a taste for liquid stevia…yet!
