May we suggest that you don’t reveal the ingredients in this cake before serving it? People have a tendency of putting their prejudices first, and it would be a shame if that hindered them from tasting this lusciously smooth, creamy and delicious cake with plenty of nuts, coffee and chocolate. Yes, there is a whole tin of black beans in the filling, but it doesn’t affect the flavour. Instead, it adds body to the cake (as well as making it more nutritious than a standard mousse cake).
Serve it frozen, like an ice-cream cake, or thawed, as a mousse cake, with fresh cherries, toasted hazelnuts and a dark chocolate drizzle on top.
