This recipe will soon become a family favourite.

You can make it in any round baking tin, or, for special occasions, such as Valentine's Day or Birthday's it's easy to make in a heart-shaped, or other shape baking pan.

I used a small "heart-shaped baking pan", and made a half-dozen cupcakes with the left-over batter. 

Ingredients

Note - Be sure to read the labels on all the ingredients to be sure they are listed as being "gluten free".

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
1 can - 19 oz./540 ml. size - chickpeas, rinsed and drained
4 medium size eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup raspberry jam
dusting of icing sugar
fresh raspberries, for garnishing, optional

Directions

In a double-boiler or heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water, melt the chocolate chips or pieces, stirring until smooth. (Or, melt the chocolate chips or pieces in a microwave-safe bowl with a couple teaspoons of vegetable oil at a medium-low setting).

Combine the chickpeas (rinsed and drained), the eggs, and the sugar in a blender or a food processor.

Process until the mixture is smooth.

Add the raspberry jam and the melted chocolate to the blender/food processor, and blend until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Grease a 9" round, or heart-shaped, cake pan, and either line it with parchment paper, or dust the bottom and sides of the pan with sifted gluten-free cocoa powder.

Spread the batter in the prepared cake pan, and/or cupcake papers.

Bake at 350° F for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

The cupcakes take about 25 minutes to bake.

Allow cake to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.

Dust top of gluten free chocolate chickpea cake with icing sugar, and garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired.

Make someone happy today, and treat them to this gluten free chickpea chocolate cake!
