welcome friends welcome back to the
kitchen and another what's in our pantry
pandemic edition now I understand a lot
of people can't find flour so it's um
it's middle to the end of April 20 2000
pandemic people are locked down panic
buying happened no flower on the shelves
but we still need to celebrate we still
need to have little happy moments in
life and a lot of people want a cake so
I thought I would pull out a recipe from
way back on the channel where I made
brownies using black beans but then I
thought I don't really want to do
another black bean brownie recipe not
everybody likes chocolate brownies and
not everybody likes the flavor of black
beans so I thought I'd do something that
was more like a cake than a brownie so
this recipe works on essentially the
same principle as the black bean
brownies beans are the major component
of the whole recipe and I'm using navy
beans because that's what I had in my

cupboard if what you have in your
cupboard are cannellini beans or you
know pinto beans or any any bean will
work in this I even think red kidney
beans would work in this and then you
could put in a little bit of vinegar to
keep that red brightness and have a
really nice colored cake so I've seen
this cake on a number of menus around
Toronto so I put a call out to my chef e
friends to see what the recipe was they
texted me back with a recipe and if
you've ever got a recipe from a chef at
a restaurant and had them write it down
for you you know that it doesn't quite
translate to the home kitchen so I have
made some changes both to translate to
the home kitchen and also to sort of
work with what I have in my own kitchen
so in there are the beans and vanilla
and I'm going to put in maple syrup as
the sweetener this is the only sugar
that's going to be in there and the only
flavoring really now if you don't have

English: 
maple syrup amazing if you don't have
maple syrup
you could use pretty much any of the
other liquid sugar syrups so you could
put in fancy molasses you could put in
probably sorghum you
you could use golden syrup if you live
in the UK you could put in just a sort
of dark corn syrup if if that's what you
have any of those would work honey
definitely honey honey would honey would
be fantastic in this so now I'm just
gonna put the top on and puree okay so
once this gets to a fairly smooth
consistency I'm going to crack in four
eggs one at a time with the Machine
still running
and just let it mix in and then move on
to the next one

English: 
okay I think we're looking good now I
need to get this into this bowl so that
we can mix in the rest of the
ingredients without having it flow over
everywhere there we go last of the bean
mixture now to this I'm gonna add a
pinch of salt melted butter and I'm
using butter the recipe that came from
the chef used coconut oil so if you
wanted to use coconut oil you could I'm
not fan of coconut oil so I'm using
butter but you could use large you could
use vegetable shortening you could use
just straight-up

English: 
oil since it goes in melted a straight
up oil would be just fine now it called
for almond flour I didn't have almond
flour but I had a part container of
leftover almond slivers from making
Christmas cake so I just ground those up
in a food processor I'm gonna put those
in and some baking powder my
understanding is you could use any nut
if you don't have almonds if you have
walnuts or pecans you could do the same
thing just grind them up and put them in
the chef's also said you could use
cornmeal in this if you wanted to if you
liked the texture and the flavor the
cornmeal would bring to it I think this
is a fairly adaptable recipe you could
do pretty much anything you want so I've
got it all mixed together now so I'm
gonna put it into a springform pan and
then pop it into a fairly hot oven 375
degrees for about half an hour

while the cake was baking I made a
little cream cheese icing based on the
tiny little piece of cream cheese that I
had left
so there's cream cheese and butter and I
just mixed that together to cream it all
nicely once those were creamed together
I added about two tablespoons of maple
syrup and a little bit of vanilla and
continued mixing and then continued on
by just adding a little bit of icing
sugar and a little bit more and a little

consistency and then you know spread the

great texture
hmm the only thing I would change is the
recipes were for almond flour mm-hmm

leftover almonds from the Christmas cake
and I just whizzed them in the in the
food explain the little almond bits okay
they needed to be finer to be flour to
be to be flour yes okay but I'm you know
