Healthy And Unique Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all purpose flour or wheat flour (120g)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (20g)
• 2 tbsp ground flax. You can omit; the cake just won’t rise as much.
• 1/3 cup  sugar (64g)
• 1/8 tsp sugar substitute (or 1/4 cup more sugar)
• 1/2 to 1 cup mini chocolate chips (60-120g) (Do not omit. The recipe just won’t be the same if you do.)
• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 loosely-packed cups frozen cauliflower, thawed completely but not cooked (250g) (Or omit and sub 1 cup canned pumpkin, if cauliflower is too weird for you. I might even like the pumpkin version better!)
• 1/2 cup milk of choice. For pumpkin version, use just 1/3 cup milk (or 1/2 cup if omitting oil).
• 3 tbsp oil (or omit and increase milk to scant 2/3 cup, for a lower-fat option)

Method

Preheat oven to 350F, and grease an 8×8 square baking dish. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl, and mix very well. Combine all liquid ingredients and the cauliflower in a food processor and blend until super-smooth, so there are NO lumps whatsoever.  Pour wet into dry, and mix until just combined, then pour into prepared pan and bake 30 minutes.  or till the knife when inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool completely. After a day, this cake is best stored in the fridge.
