i made this cake yesterday. it was easy and yummy, had a great texture! i used a hand mixer and it easily combined all the ingredients. be careful dumping the cake out of the pan, i recommend using parchment paper to ensure it comes out clean. is great topped with chocolate syrup or as a layer in gluten-free parfait. i may add a tad bit more sugar next time. thanks for the great recipe!

Awesome recipe! I used extra dark chocolate (all I had on hand) and just added a bit more sugar. It was decadent & rich. You’d never know there were chickpeas in it!!! I WILL make this again and again.

I sent this on to my sister as soon as I read the recipe. She has kids with major food sensitivities (gluten, corn, soy, dairy, etc…) I think she could probably get away with using something in place of the butter (maybe coconut shortening or somesuch) and have a really festive cake to share with her kids this Christmas season. Thanks for posting it!
