Chocolate Cake

This would have to be the most moist chocolate cake I have ever made.
First tie I made it I was very reluctant to try it, however by sons reaction to the cake
demolishing it in record time, I figured it couldn't have been too bad.
It is easy and very popular with my family.

1 x 400 g can of kidney beans
1 tbsp coffee powder
1 tbsp vanilla essc
70g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp Bi carb
1/2 tsp salt
125g cooking marg
5 eggs
180g castor sugar

Process washed and drained kidney beans, 2 eggs, vanilla essc, and coffee.
Cream butter and sugar until pale.
Add bean mix and I usually put the other 3 eggs in the blender and mix so left over bean mix can be poured into the mixer with the butter and sugar and the sifted dry ingredients. (Psst, mix dry ingredients in before turning mixer on, otherwise you end up with cocoa powder going everywhere.)
Mix until smooth and pour into a greased and lined bar tin.

bake at 180 for approx 30 mins (if not quite done keep checking often, as it wont be far off)
leave in tine for a little while then remove and cool on a wire rack.

You can put icing on whether it be a chic butter icing or icing of your choice.

have fun.
