Hey Cyndi,
I was looking through the recipe section but can't find the coffee cake recipe to see how to work your switches in. Where is it?

I'm hesitant to post it until I have the time right. I'll post it here if anyone wants to experiment with it.

1 can white beans, rinsed and drained
4 eggs
1t vanilla
1/2 c unsweetened cocoa
1/2 c agave
1/4c nut butter
1t baking powder
1/2t baking soda
dash salt

mix it all in the blender and pour into lightly oiled pan. here's the tricky part - I think I baked it about 30 minutes at 350 but I could have cooked it less time. Basically bake until you get a dry toothpick. Makes 12 generous pieces.

Cottage - you could skip the nut butter and use the 2T oil instead. It would still be good

thanks Cyndi
