While pureed black beans may seem like an odd ingredient to use in a baked good, they’re actually the secret to this recipe's dense, rich finish. Plus, their dark color makes them a top choice for chocolaty recipes like this fudgy treat. Use a food processor to pulverize the beans completely to ensure a smooth batter. For an extra-minty cake, substitute the same amount of mint-flavored chocolate chips — just reduce the mint extract to 1/8 tsp. Leftovers stored in an airtight container at room temperature will hold-up for two but if they stick around any longer go ahead and store them in the refrigerator.
