BAKED BEAN CAKE OR MUFFINS
An unusual "veggie cake" made with baked beans! I find this similar to a carrot cake, it is easy to make and very tasty. Adapted from a recipe found in Saltscapes magazine, chef Marie Nightingale.

Steps:
- Cake:.
- Place raisins in a bowl and pour boiling water over them, set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, mash beans with a fork.
- Add eggs, oil and sugar, beat well.
- Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- (I sometimes add a 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cloves to spice it up a little!).
- Stir into bean mixture.
- Drain raisins and reserve liquid.
- Add raisins, nuts and vanilla to batter.
- If batter is too thick, add a little of the raisin water, stirring to combine.
- Pour mixture into a greased 13" x 9" baking pan.
- Bake at 325 degrees for approximately an hour or until tester inserted in centre comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in pan on rack.
- Icing:.
- Combine sugar and cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil, cook for 2 minutes.
- Add butter, remove from heat and stir in nuts, coconut and vanilla.
- Pour evenly over the cake, allow to cool before cutting.
- Note: edited to reduce 1 cup oil to 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup applesauce and reduced the sugar from 2 to 1 1/2 cups with good results. This recipe will makes 24 large muffins, baking time is 30 minutes.
- Enjoy!
