Chocolate Cake with Garbanzo Beans

I made an amazing chocolate cake with chili pepper for my Dad’s birthday celebration. My sister Jennifer mentioned she was really trying to eat healthier- and to eat fewer desserts. This cake from Robert Dean is a departure from the one I made over the weekend. Yes, the garbanzo beans in the ingredient list are correct- but you’ll never be aware of them in the finished cake! But your body will appreciate their fiber- and protein! I’m certain you could use Splenda baking blend in place of the sugar, though I haven’t personally made it that way. For the raspberry coulis, just puree a bag of frozen raspberries and sweeten them with a bit of sugar or Splenda, if desired.
