Chickpea Banana Cake Recipe (Gluten-Free)

During this time, we are at home and have a lot of canned beans, especially Gabenzo Beans or Chickpeas. I am totally in love with chickpeas and enjoy adding them into my salad, soup, or hummus dip. This time, I tried to add chickpeas into my banana cake. As a result, it is so flavorful and fluffy cake that is grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free. It is so easy to make by adding all of the ingredients in a blender, bake, and enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee.

1/3 cup granulated sugar 

2 eggs, at room temperature 

2 teaspoons vanilla extract 

1/3 cup mixed melted butter and vegetable oil 

1/2 cup kefir or butter cream 

2 Tablespoons brewed coffee  

For the chocolate cream cheese buttercream frosting: 

2 sticks or 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 

4 oz Philadelphia original cream cheese, softened 

2 cups powdered sugar 

1/2 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder

2 teaspoons vanilla extract 

2-3 Tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk 

1/4 teaspoon salt 

chocolate sprinkles 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside. 
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt until combined. Set aside.

  5. Fill liner about 1/2 full with batter. Bake cupcakes for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting. I used an ice cream trigger scoop to fill 12 cupcakes. As a result, they were a little overflow so I had better fill the batter less and make about 13-14 cupcakes. 
  6. To make the frosting, with a hand mixer beat butter and cream cheese  until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until the frosting is smooth. Mix in vanilla extract, salt, and milk until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Place the frosting in the pastry bag. I used Wilton 1M piping tip for these cupcakes.

All-Butter Pie Crust Pumpkin Pie

It is getting really busier before Thanksgiving. Last night, I was searching for the best pumpkin pie recipe and found this from https://www.modernhoney.com/the-best-pumpkin-pie-recipe/.

I also did some research how to make a perfect pie crust and found All-Butter Pie Dough recipe, wrote by Paula Haney https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/hoosier-mama-all-butter-pie-doughand watched how she made the perfect pie crust from youtube. This was outstanding video and instructions. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

I used to make the pumpkin cheese swirled pie on Thanksgiving several years ago and everyone liked it. Here is the recipe https://ladaskitchen.wordpress.com/2016/11/20/pumpkin-cheese-swirled-pie/

This time I had to admit that my pumpkin pie was cracking. Then I found out that I was cooling it too quickly outside. Next time I should leave it inside the oven and leave the oven door ajar about 15 minutes like I made this cheesecake https://ladaskitchen.wordpress.com/2017/12/31/new-year-cheesecake/. Moreover, I wanted to try the new recipe because really like the idea of adding butter and cream cheese together. Can’t wait to try on Thanksgiving. I also cut off some butter and sugar. Let’s get started ka! 

Ingredients: 

1- 8 oz package cream cheese, softened 

1- 15 oz can pumpkin pie puree, I cut off 1/4 cup

3 Tablespoons melted butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 eggs

2 1/4 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1/4 teaspoon salt 

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Place a pie dough in a baking pie pan, I used 9″ disposable aluminum foil pie pan. I blinded baked my pie crust in order to help the crust to stay firm about 10-15 minutes. Let it cool before adding the filling. 
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. I used the whisk  attachment to whip the filling. Then add pumpkin puree and mix until combined. 
  4. Whisk in melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Add powdered sugar, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well until smooth.
  6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour the pumpkin pie filling into the partially baked pie crust and place on baking sheet. I did not have some extra filling because cut down a 1/4 cup of pumping puree. 
  7. Cover edge of pie crust with 2 to 3 inch strip of foil or use a adjustable pie shield to prevent excessive browning and remove foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Bake for 40-45 minutes. When it is done, it’ll jiggle in the center. Let it cool in the oven and leave the door ajar about 15 minutes to prevent from cracking. Then leave it on the counter top about 30 minutes or until it cools completely. 
  8. Let it chill in refrigerator at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy ka!
