Tip

If you enjoyed my Magic bean cake recipe, you might enjoy this one too. It is a variant to the former recipe. You can substitute cannelloni beans for the butter beans for this recipe. I find that chickpeas and soy beans are too strong in flavour to use. The orange blossom water is a lovely fragrant addition if you have it. You could also substitute currants for cranberries too. Have fun.

  • I was so looking forward to

    I was so looking forward to trying this recipe as I love the chocolate version. It was, however, a major fail for me. Mixture seemed far too runny (I used 1 x 400gr can butter beans, rinsed and drained - should it be 400gr drained weight instead? Cooked for 45 minutes - texture was sort of wet rubbery with very eggy taste. I didn't add cranberries but cut cake looked nothing like the picture. Mine looked more like a soggy yellow bath sponge. Where did I go wrong? Followed recipe exactly.  tmrc_emoticons.(

    Following the above disaster I froze uneaten portion of cake in serving size peices.  later heated up in microwave they made a lovely pudding type cake. I did heat until very hot so would have cooked it more. I ate it on its own but would be lovely with custard. Made me think that I will try the recipe again but cook for longer time to see if texture improves. If not, I know it will make a nice pudding.  Have subsequently changed rating from 1 to 3. 

    Udate April 2016. Now 4 stars!

    made these again as cupcakes. Cooked for 30 minutes 160/180 ( changed back and forth a little during baking). Results much better this time. Still an odd texture - sort of like a dense pudding, but tasted nice, although still slightly eggy. Considering it is gluten free, it's a pretty good result. Even my husband and son liked them. Next time I will try reducing sugar as a little too sweet for me. Would be lovey served warm with custard/ice cream for dessert.

  • Be careful with the amount of

    Be careful with the amount of orange & bicarb of soda, it's 'half' for each, not '5'. Tastes a bit funny with 5 tsp bicarb of soda!!

    Would love to try this recipe, but as Mollyd333 says, is missing some vital details.    Can you fix it please, Sarah Wong?

  • The ingredients for this list

    Submitted by mollyd333 on 12. May 2012 - 17:32.

    The ingredients for this list coconut oil but not coconut. Is there coconut - and  if so what sort - or is the coconut oil to be used with the sugar as the first ingredient? Also what size tin and oven temp do you use? Thanks!
