Orange Recipe ★ Orange Spice Garbanzo Cake

Spicy and moist, you won't believe this cake contains garbanzo beans (chickpeas). The batter is runny so don't worry.

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• 3 eggs, beaten
• ½ cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
• 1 orange, zested and juiced

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square cake pan or line with parchment paper.
2. Process garbanzo beans in a food processor until smooth. Add cinnamon and cloves and pulse until combined. Add eggs, sugar, baking powder, and orange zest; process until just combined. Stir orange juice into garbanzo mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Remove cake from pan and cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
