I'm trying to cook more vegan foods. I love this cake but it takes a lot of time. It is very similar to brownies but not as dense or sweet. A good way to trick your kids into eating veggies.

Steps

1 hour

1

Preheat oven to 350° F.
2

Peel and grate zucchini. Pulverize black beans in food processor.
3

In a separate bowl mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa and cinnamon. Set aside.
4

Mix together black beans, zucchini, sugar and vegetable oil. Thoroughly blend with a mixer until it has a smooth consistency, about five to ten minutes.
5

Gradually add dry mixture to wet mixture. Add one quarter of the dry ingredients and blend. Keep doing this until you have added all the dry ingredients.
6

Spray a 9 x 12 cake with vegetable oil. Pour batter into pan and bake for at least two hours. Do not underbake. This cake takes a long time. Insert a knife or toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean and without batter clinging to it, it is done.
7

Substitutions: you can use four eggs instead of black beans. You can use chopped hazelnuts, almonds or walnuts. Or you can omit them.

The preparation time does not include baking.
