The Wacky Cake
5 steps
Prep:15minCook:1h
Oh boy. My brother sent me this ridiculous ChatGPT generated cake recipe, and I wanted to try making it for when he came to visit. This wacky cake is certainly the strangest thing I've ever made. It's a savory black bean cake that's shockingly way better than it sounds. Ignore that it's called cake; this concoction is more of a savory quick bread. It acts more so as a dinner carb side than a dessert

Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350F, and line a 9" cake pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray the paper
Step 2

Drain and rinse your beans. Add all ingredients to a food processor, and blend until smooth. Blend in the baking soda last. As soon as the baking soda interacts with the vinegar, the reaction to rise the cake will begin, so adding it as late as possible helps to get more optimal lift (am I really giving proper cake baking instructions when there's sauerkraut, coffee, and ginger in here??)
















Step 3

Transfer the batter to your pan
Step 4

Bake at 350F for 30 minutes, uncovered. Cover with foil, and bake an additional 30 minutes. The cake should be set on the top, a toothpick should come out with some wet crumbs, and the internal temperature will be at least 200F
Step 5

Chill in the fridge overnight before slicing
