It’s July’s Group A Secret Recipe Club reveal day and if you hadn’t noticed, I already posted one recipe for Texas Sheet Cake Cookies. So here I am with some Flourless Raspberry Chocolate Mini Bundt Cakes.
Why? Well, I also decided to help out an extra from June’s Group C reveal, and I’m posting for her today! 🙂 Yay!
The June Group C blog I had was Mangia Blog, run by Chelsy and literally stuffed with FANTASTIC mostly Gluten Free recipes. I absolutely loved looking through her list of recipes!
Looking at so many recipes, it was SO hard to come up with something, but I was already on a chocolate kick, and these Flour-Less Razz-tastic Chocolate Baby Bundt Cakes were just what the doctor… er… cravings, ordered.
And honestly I already had ALL the ingredients so they were happening. I also considered her Peanut Butter and Honey Oatmeal Muffins, Banana Bread Milkshakes and her Mexican Inspired Mayo-less Egg Salad. She has an absolutely amazing array of recipes and you really need to check them out.
In the meantime, can I just tell you how good these are?
The secret ingredient is Black Beans. Yep. I’ve been dying to try making something sweet with black beans and you’d think I’d have done it already, but this was the first time.
You know what? It is incredible. It’s a rich chocolate taste, a texture that’s kind of like super fudgy brownies and the raspberries give it a little something extra that’s almost unexpected but is perfect. I am SO glad I made these.
My kids had NO idea that they weren’t just a typical brownie. Only ONE of them commented on the strange texture, but the rest of us agreed, he’s just used to more cake-like brownies because honestly I don’t think you’d know the difference at all.
Chelsy, we loved these. So much that I have made them three different times (including as bars) and we have devoured them quickly. I feel less bad about that since it’s made with beans, ya know? Plus we’re a big group, so it’s inevitable.

what exciting cakes: I love raspberries in chocolate cakes, and the black beans are very thrilling to use. I cannot wait to make a batch of these.
These are AMAZING! Look at how cute the little raspberries floating in the batter… and now of course, I “need” a mini bundt pan… (sigh)
wonderful post!
What LOVELY little cakes, a real treat! Great pick for SRC and Happy 4th July too! Karen
These are darling! Soooo cute and sound delicious!!
You had me at raspberry. Yum! I’d love to make these soon.
Oh yum! I just won’t tell my husband about the black beans. Happy Reveal Day!
I don’t even have a regular sized bundt pan. I need the mini ones, because this is just so darned cute! Chocolate and raspberry is one of my favourite flavor combos ever!
These look fantastic and chocolate and raspberry is such a great combination. I can’t wait to try it, all the more because of the beans in it – very interesting. Great pick for reveal day!
Beans in my cake? I am sooooooooo trying this! Absolutely GREAT SRC pick!
Such gorgeous delights contain black beans? If seeing is believing, I’m all for it. I’ve made avocado chocolate pudding but black bean mini bundts are a new one on me. Great SRC pick – and you’re a peach for doing double duty this month.
