Surprise Chocolate Cake
This is an amazing cake.....no one will ever know you used lentils. 

 

2 c. cooked lentils (green or brown), cooled to lukewarm
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs 
1/4 c. oil 
1/2 c. applesauce 
3/4 c. water
1 and 1/2 c. sugar
2 c. unbleached flour
1/4 c. dry milk powder
4 to 5 T. dry baking cocoa
1 and 1/2 tsp. baking soda 
1/2 tsp. sea salt

 

Preheat oven to 350°. Generously grease and flour an 11x15x1 baking pan. In blender until smooth: cooked lentils, vanilla, eggs, oil, applesauce, water; place in a large mixing bowl.   

 

Mix together: sugar, unbleached flour, dry milk powder, cocoa, baking soda, salt. Add to the liquid mixture in large bowl; beat 2 minutes. Pour and scrape into prepared pan.  Bake about 20 minutes, or until top bounces back at touch. Remove from oven, cool cake in the pan.

​

Can top with a frosting of your choice if you wish: an easy meringue type frosting is good on this cake and not too sweet.
