  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking pan with cooking spray and dust with rice flour.

  2. Combine rice flour, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder in a food processor, pulse until well mixed. Mix in olive oil. Pour in garbanzo beans with liquid, puree until smooth. Blend in water gradually. Mix in vinegar, batter will be thin. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until edges pull away from the pan, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool for 1 hour before serving, otherwise it will be crumbly.

Recipe Note

Gluten-free and vegan chocolate cake. Ideally, let it sit a few hours before covering;cover well as it dries out more quickly than other traditional cakes. I don't know why, but it seems better a day or two after it's made, perhaps because it takes that long to set up.
