1 can canned aduki (or adzuki) beans (unsalted)
2 medium cooked beetroot
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
1/2 cup goji berries
1 banana
3/4 cup Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
1 tablespoon sweetener
1. Blend ingredients together and bake at 160 C (320 F) in a round silicone 9″ cake pan for about 60 minutes or until, when stabbed with a knife, the knife comes out clean.
2. When the cake came out of the oven, let it cool and proceed to melt one bar of 100% dark chocolate in a bain marie before pouring the chocolate on the cake to cover it completely. If you would like to use a weaker dark chocolate though, go for it – a 70 or 80% would work just as well.
3. After pouring the chocolate on top of the cake, grate two big Brazil nuts on top.
4. Transfer the cake to the fridge until it’s time to light the candles

Woahhh that looks so delicious!!!
Hi, this looks so good! I am actually going to make it for my BF’s birthday next week (just bought the goji and aduki beans). However, I am a little confused. Did you blend ALL the ingredients in a food processor or blender to make the batter, or did you use a different process? Thanks so much!
All was blended together
