Ingredients

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×12-inch baking pan with cooking spray and dust with rice flour.

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.

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.

Cook's Notes:

White vinegar can be replaced with apple cider vinegar.

Using something like arrowroot might make this cake less crumbly, but I don't find that necessary if it sits overnight.
