How to Make Garbanzo Raisin Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a blender, combine 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 1 large egg white, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the chickpea mixture into a large bowl.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup raisins.
  6. In a separate clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar using an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
  7. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chickpea mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  10. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the cake batter.
  11. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting it onto the rack to cool completely.
  13. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Refrigerate leftovers.
