Ingredients for Coconut Black Bean Cake Serves 4
All-purpose flour 30 gr Cocoa powder 20 gr Chicken eggs 6 pieces Black beans 100 gr Coconut milk 120 ml Sugar 50 gr Salt 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon Baking soda 1/2 teaspoon (baking soda)
How to choose good black beans
- Good black beans usually have thin skins, shiny black color, and evenly round seeds. You should avoid beans with a white powdery layer on the outside, as these are either old black beans or contain preservatives.
- You should choose green heart black beans because they will be richer and tastier when cooked.
How to clean and prepare black beans better
- The preparation steps include washing, soaking, and roasting black beans. You should wash the black beans thoroughly at least 2 times, then soak them in water for 6 – 8 hours to allow the beans to swell and soften. Discard any beans that float on the surface of the water during soaking.
- After soaking, turn the heat on high and place the black beans in a pan to roast for about 10 minutes, until you see the skin of the black beans wrinkle slightly before cooking or steaming them.
Note:
- You can buy ready-made coconut milk at TasteVN supermarkets nationwide or purchase online at bachhoaxanh.com

Boil the beans
After washing and soaking the beans for 8 hours, remove them and let them drain.
Then, pour enough water to cover the beans and cook over high heat for about 20 minutes, until the beans are soft and easily mashed, then drain the water and let the beans cool.
Tip: Soaking the beans before cooking helps remove enzyme inhibitors, allowing the nutrients in the beans to be fully utilized. In addition, soaked beans cook faster and will be more delicious and flavorful.See details: Why soak beans and grains before cooking?

Bake the cake and finish
You preheat the oven for 10 – 15 minutes at 160 degrees Celsius for the oven to stabilize the temperature.
Pour the black bean cake batter into the tray, spreading the batter and beans evenly across the tray. Place the tray in the oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 25 – 30 minutes.
After baking, take the cake out to cool, then remove it from the mold and cut it into bite-sized squares. Place the cake on a plate and drizzle coconut milk on top to complete the dish.
Tip: Before pouring the batter, you should brush a thin layer of oil or line the tray with parchment paper, so the cake can be easily removed after baking.
