I'm not quite sure why people can't find flour. The grain silos have been full to overflowing since China stopped buying US products with trump's trade war. I have a friend who works at a flour mill on the Mississippi in Minnesota. He's been working 6 days a week since this started. It's pretty safe for him since respirators are standard PPE in the mill. Of course there is always that slim threat of an explosion.
@Amy Robert I hear what you are saying - Arva has great flour, I've used it and like it. But it's at least 5x the price + shipping; not practical for many people. Especially right now, with so many unemployed or under employed. Point is moot since they are also completely sold out according to their website and phone message.
We have some friends here in NY who make syrup, and they give us two of those a year. And some canadian friends in my curling club have been known to bring some shine down from canada made with syrup. They told me that way up north everywhere there's a sugar shack making syrup, there's another shack making shine.
Glen and Jules, THANK YOU for all your great videos. They are really fun and I love how real you are! I am close to your age, (29 x.1.9) 😛. I have been a home cook for 35 years trying to feed my family whole food meals that are not just nutritious but tastey. I have so much fun watching you substitute, eye ball, switch up and change things that I just cant look away. Im recovering from covid, (going on 13 months) and your videos make me feel like Im in the kitchen with friends. Thank you for brightening up a really tough year.
Was thinking if you used a good molasses you could add cinnamon, ginger and some other spices and have a spice cake. Could then put either a lemon sauce or caramel sauce on top
FYI: Y'all are keeping me going. These practical timely cooking techniques (I'm not going to call them recipes because they are MUCH more useful than that) have given me so many good ideas about what to do with some of my food supply prep. Human win!
Nice recipe Glenn. I've been keto for 2+ years and regular coconut oil is to much, but if you get the refined coconut oil, it is flavourless and scentless.
yellow corn flour for tacos from plain dorritos and cornflakes Wheatbix into brown wheat flour Rice bubbles for rice flour Bran cereal for bran flour Essentially any type of dried cereal or puffed grain. Chuck around 4 cups of what you're using into a blender until it forms powder.
Glen we really like your channel and good on you for respectful quarantine recipes. Thia cake was way to sweet beans for our taste. We are going to try reducing the beans by half double the baking powder and almond flour and see if that lightens it up. Keep up the good work. !
Finally, a Canadian cook! I am going to try this. I never thought of using beans instead of flour. Flour is so expensive these days. I am going to try this, and let you know how it turned out for me.
I made this with half maple syrup, half sweetened condensed milk to sweeten it, sorghum flour mixed with finely processed walnuts for the dry meal component, and some almond extract. It came out surprisingly reminiscent of a German nut cake my grandmother used to make.
I've done something similar, but I added some oil in addition to butter and it didn't stick. I also added lemon juice and not just vanilla. Didn't get a recipe, but we knew someone who made banana blondies for her daughter's wedding. She said it was a family secret lol. Anyway, bananas might be good here too?
Amazing work in the video! I didn't know you could do that with beans, never heard it before. I might give it a try! :) I thought I would share some information about the flour situation in France: The shortage of flour in France right now isn't due to panic buying, people are just baking and cooking so much more the consumer market saw an increase of 250% during lockdown. Normally consumer end is just a small percentage of the whole market (~5% if I remember correctly), so there's a shortage of packaging! Here the supermarkets rarely sell in units/package larger than 1kg. The flour itself is here, but the packaging chain can't follow the demand AND a large portion of the paper bags comes from neighbor countries (like Spain) which made it even worse. These past few days I can finally see some flour on the shelves again so right now things are getting better little by little. Eggs are still kinda complicated, you gotta be at the supermarket at the right moment to have some options. Cheers!
Hi Glen! A couple years ago I asked if you ever planned on doing a gluten free pizza dough or other gluten free dough recipes. You said you may sometime down the road. I am really excited to try out this recipe... It looks really interesting! I tried your peanut butter bread recipe substituting gluten free flour and it turned out quite well. I used almond flour, and a scoop of pumpkin puree to help the dough maintain some moisture and structure (I substitute a scoop of pumpkin for an egg in my carrot cake recipe as well! Try it sometime). I have been experimenting every so often with GF pizza dough recipes... I have had some success with doing an overnight rise/ferment in the fridge and using quite a bit of oil and cornstarch and a hearty amount of yeast, however I have yet to satisfy my craving for a good GF dough. I would also be interested to see you come up with a good gluten free pastry dough. With your knowledge of food science and bringing the scientific method into your test kitchen, I'm sure you would be up for the chalange. Let me know what you think. Be well - Nate
I have over 15 pounds of flour left....I had 20 pounds but I made some of your recipes 👍🏻 Seems many grocery store (at least by me in Central New Jersey) the shelves are pretty stocked up with most staples🙏🏻 Cake looks awesome 👏🏼 🍰
Is there anything more Canadian than pulling a gigantic hooch-jug of maple syrup out of the fridge? I love how casually you do that Glen. I LOVE this channel!
I made this. I would say i added more honey and sugar to the bean base which was great, but 8 inch pan it was so tall the frosting to cake ratio was off. Will make this again with two 8" pans and stack them so the icing ratio is better. Also, i wont use sugar substitutes. My friend was on the toilet lol. Sugar is fine with the fiber, because the fiber helps to regulate the insulin response.
There was a shortage of flour in the supermarkets here in the Netherlands too during the beginning of the pandemic. But I just went to my local wind mill (which is still actually grinding flour!) and bought all the flour I needed. The wind mill didn't have any shortage of flour. But this recipe is certainly something to try out!
I just made this cake! It takes a lot longer to bake than 30 - 40 minutes. I baked mine for 50, put a toothpick in, it was clean. I let it cool, it's kinda mushy. I love the flavour. I'll try again and bake it a lot longer!
I made this last weekend. I agree with Glenn, the texture is definitely better out of the fridge. I used cannellini beans, which I don't recommend as there was a definitely aftertaste. The maple syrup flavour was lovely, though I committed a crime against Canada and used sugar free maple flavoured syrup as it's what I had. No idea why as I usually run from "flavoured" stuff, but it actually tasted really nice and the icing is my new favourite thing!
Hello, I made this cake today and I had to bake it for 50 minutes. I made the mistake of leaving it in the pan until completely cooled which made the texture seem a little under done. It has a mild taste so I might add a little maple extract next time. The icing is fantastic. We used parchment paper and the sides were perfectly smooth. I’ll make it again and cool it as per the instructions.
I tried it and the only thing wrong was that the maple flavor did not come through. I used some Escuminac dark amber syrup I ordered from Amazon (Your syrup looks much darker and thicker). So I added a little Lokanto golden sweetener and some real maple extract which kicked it up a notch. I added melted keto white chocolate to the basic frosting and used Swerve instead of powdered sugar. Delicious. Wasn’t really going for keto, just a reduction in sugar. Your videos are great. You keep things simple yet interesting. Thanks.
I have about 6 packs of tofu coming up on date and raspberries are on sale, so I'm tempted to make this with tofu instead of beans, a fresh raspberry jam as the liquid sweetener, and hazelnuts instead of almonds. Or to use ground sesame seeds instead of almonds and tahini in place of butter. Raspberry/hazelnut and raspberry/sesame are both good flavor combos!
During times of stress I must eat gluten free ( and during the first episode I was living in Newcastle Village, Orono and Port Britain at the time) my then partner and I shopped at a flour mill retail shop in Scarborough which sold some of the most interesting flours from which I created flour mixtures to be used in everything from bread (some fancy others just humble sandwich breads or toasting breads). I loved to have friends over and everything on the menus would be gf from pizza or rolls to pasta to celebration cakes. The selection of flours ranged from pure buckwheat to sweet rice flour. Also a full range of bean flours. I was in flour heaven! It was an absolute cooking adventure!!!!
Amazing! I actually have a bean-centric cook book that has some bean-based cakes, but I've never given them a shot because I was afraid they'd be too mealy or something. This video had totally given me the confidence to give those recipes a shot. Thanks again, Glen and friends, for another brilliant video.
I tried this using some kind of white broad bean and made muffins. Just plain, I found it tasted more like bisquit than cake, especially with the grainy texture. after I glazed them with fresh made cranberry sauce they were quite good.
Thank you for the great recipes. Found your channel just a shore while ago. Great show. Thank you also for the info on Pasta Grannies. Also great channel. Can you recommend any others. From Manitoulin Island Stay safe.
When I tried sweet adzuki beans from a recipe in the newspaper during Chinese new year, I was really skeptical but was really surprised at how good it was. Don't know why it seemed strange to me before I tried it.
In Japan and Asia in general, Adzuki beans are used to make ice cream with no dairy, no eggs!! This recipe is very old and has nothing to do with vegans. It would’ve had just the beans mashed up and water and sugar and maybe some cornstarch. More modern recipes have been influenced by western ice cream and do have milk or cream or condensed milk in them.
@@HolyMess420, how that xenaphobic? Either your reading comprehension needs to improve, or the ability to have logical independent thought? I answered a retorical question. Your anger is definitely misplaced! Although I am an American, I have relatives from other cultures and my parents used to live in Asia. Stop being defensive where no insult was ever intended! Save your anger for actual hatred and life will be much more calm and happy. Why are you taking it personally?
My husband watches your show all the time! Thanks for putting out great content! We made this cake tonight and have the burger smash buns currently doubling as we speak. I took a picture of the cake, but can’t find a way to attach it. If you would like pictures of your recipes that your followers have made, just let me know and I’ll send them to you!
Thank you for this recipe! I must be gluten and dairy free. I like that this recipe is so adaptable to dietary preferences and what may be in the pantry. It's also excellent that the cake is probably quite healthy. Also impressed by the huge jug of maple syrup. I plan to do some of my obligatory binge-watching during our "shelter in place" viewing your videos. Cheers!
Now THAT'S a jug of maple syrup. As a Canadian living in France, I'm very jealous. The most I can find is a 1 litre bottle, and that's in a select number of places. Yours looks like artisanal syrup!
Yes, I was surprised he didn’t line the pan with parchment. Might try this one but not tell my husband there were beans in the batter. And I would use finely ground walnuts. I’d like him to try a cake with beets in it one day. I did try it once but the recipe was a dud or was misprinted. I should have known when it called for only a 1/4 cup of sugar that it wasn’t going to end well. Like a savoury chocolate beet cake.
This looks amazing, Glen...I am excited to try it. I am also going to share with my gluten sensitive friend in Arizona (my friend since childhood)...big hello from London, Ontario!
Yeah I saw this coming as soon as reports came out in January that it was spreading outside china so I bought 20kg each of flour, pasta and rice early February before anyone cared so I'll be good for baking for the next 6 months.
Brown rice flour and tapioca starch, in a 1:1 ratio, with 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum per cup of mixed flours (must be exact) will yield cakes and muffins nearly indiscernible from those made with wheat flour. Try your local bulk food store for these ingredients.
I love coconut!!! I was thinking to do a coconut version of this... using coconut flour instead of almond... I’d still use butter... because butter tastes amazing... probably just vanilla frosting with some coconut added in... I love your channel!!!
Coconut oil works fine if that's all you have, I swap it out all the time for butter. The key is to add a little extra liquid because the coconut oil is pure fat, as opposed to butter which has a percentage of water and milk solids.
I have to say, getting past the bean as a flour base is a tough one for me since all I can imagine is this pureed bean smell as you process that all up. And I don't imagine the after effect was all that pleasant. ☁️☁️☁️😲
I'm here to defend coconut oil. If you don't like the coconut flavor, try the ones that aren't extra virgin. They have a neutral flavor. Coconut oil has been a lifesaver to me since my daughter went vegan. It is an amazing butter substitute. It makes moist cakes, and the best pie crust ever.
So, with a celiac kid, I can tell you that a lot of almond flours are blanched before grinding. But not all. Blanched almond flour is finer. With the skins, usually a bit more course. Bean flour is... beany. And it needs to sit a while to rehydrate. Using actual beans would most likely taste much better and I'm looking forward to trying it. My daughter has her 18th birthday in 2 weeks. We have known she's a celiac for 13 years this week. Thank you for this nice cake recipe. I have been looking for ways to make it special
Even more temptations! I’m absolutely going to try this with Golden Syrup (it’s more readily available here in Aus) I just spent the last few days experimenting with Vanilla Slice Recipes to try make something unique too. The way this lockdown is going, I’ll be in the kitchen full time!
Thanks for watching Everyone! *Have you found flour yet?* The full recipe is in teh description.
I'm not quite sure why people can't find flour.
The grain silos have been full to overflowing since China stopped buying US products with trump's trade war.
I have a friend who works at a flour mill on the Mississippi in Minnesota.
He's been working 6 days a week since this started.
It's pretty safe for him since respirators are standard PPE in the mill.
Of course there is always that slim threat of an explosion.
It has to be a shipping problem somewhere in the system + the run of panic buying a few weeks ago.
Hello, greetings from Algeria, we were under flour panic buying last month, but now it's quite available, i love you.
Arva Mills has lots of flour! Check your local mills!! Time to start supporting local farmers and growers again :)
@Amy Robert I hear what you are saying - Arva has great flour, I've used it and like it. But it's at least 5x the price + shipping; not practical for many people. Especially right now, with so many unemployed or under employed.
Point is moot since they are also completely sold out according to their website and phone message.
I'm Celiac so this is definitely on my list of things to try.
In fact I'll be right up to try a slice. Just leave it outside the door for me.
Glen my Canadian friend I really appreciate your enormous maple syrup jug. Feels like home to me!
We have some friends here in NY who make syrup, and they give us two of those a year.

Next you'll be wanting a Xmas fruit cake.
As a Canadian I approve of this dessert. I put Maple Syrup on everything.
Chef May I: Same here in Michigan. What kind of monster does not love maple?!?
Is your maple jar as big as Glen’s? I feel like that would cost over £100 in Britain

I would make it with pecans. Maple pecan is such a great combo!
I think I would also add some maple extract to amp up the maple flavor. I use it in my morning oatmeal and works great with a tiny bit of sugar.
I've been obsessed with your channel since the pandemic started! So many great recipes that I'm able to make now.
Home baking from scratch, is being given a try,. The Grocery Store by me, has lots of cake mixes on the shelf, not a lot of flour choices.
Nice recipe Glenn. I've been keto for 2+ years and regular coconut oil is to much, but if you get the refined coconut oil, it is flavourless and scentless.
The whole point of keto is to eat clean, real, unrefined food, you might as well just use refined vegetable oil then. It's cheaper
10 am on a Tuesday Glen!
Ah, You’re a good bean!
OMG Canadians have the Maple Syrup hook up! I'd drink that straight from that moonshine jug without a shred of guilt! 😂
Yep...making this on the weekend for sure but i mught add a coffee flavouring and walnut flour!
My favorite part of your videos is your wife tasting things at the end.

Thank you Glen for all of these videos and encouraging us through this!!
I love Glen's definition of one teaspoon of vanilla, a dash of sugar or any spice.

I tried this and it is surprisingly very good! Could be a good base for other cake flavors. I'm thinking of trying to do a spice/carrot cake version

OMG that is a metric butt load of tree sap! + Love the retro hand mixer!
Could you take the bean juice (aquafaba), whip it up, and fold it in to give a lighter texture?
I was wondering the same... I made a boxed cake mix last week and used aquafaba for the eggs and it was perfect

I'll bet butter beans would be really good for this (they taste the least bean-y of any bean, I think).
Coconut oil works fine if that's all you have, I swap it out all the time for butter. The key is to add a little extra liquid because the coconut oil is pure fat, as opposed to butter which has a percentage of water and milk solids.
Can’t wait to try this. Totally agree about coconut, don’t like it either.
I have to say, getting past the bean as a flour base is a tough one for me since all I can imagine is this pureed bean smell as you process that all up. And I don't imagine the after effect was all that pleasant. ☁️☁️☁️😲
I'm gluten intolerant and I can't wait to make this!
How difficult would the be to make by hand as I don't have any of the electrical gizmos?
Looks like a great recipe as always.
Well... Looks like I'm going to do this one!
that is amazing i might have to try it
Have you ever heard of or made a navy bean pie? so good
Wow! He has a huge gallon of maple syrup! I'm jealous.
Fascinating! (and much more courageous with eggs than I am .. I always tend to drop at least One shell into the bowl lol)
I'm here to defend coconut oil. If you don't like the coconut flavor, try the ones that aren't extra virgin. They have a neutral flavor. Coconut oil has been a lifesaver to me since my daughter went vegan. It is an amazing butter substitute. It makes moist cakes, and the best pie crust ever.
The idea of bean cake really appeals to me, or bean cookies/
So, with a celiac kid, I can tell you that a lot of almond flours are blanched before grinding. But not all. Blanched almond flour is finer. With the skins, usually a bit more course. Bean flour is... beany. And it needs to sit a while to rehydrate. Using actual beans would most likely taste much better and I'm looking forward to trying it. My daughter has her 18th birthday in 2 weeks. We have known she's a celiac for 13 years this week. Thank you for this nice cake recipe. I have been looking for ways to make it special
Refined coconut oil doesn't tend to impart a flavour. Nutiva brand is quite nice. And it's great for cast iron cleanup too.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! However, my wife is diabetic. Any desert suggestions. I'd love your suggestions.
A cake from beans thats a new one for me thanks!
Even more temptations! I’m absolutely going to try this with Golden Syrup (it’s more readily available here in Aus) I just spent the last few days experimenting with Vanilla Slice Recipes to try make something unique too. The way this lockdown is going, I’ll be in the kitchen full time!
