Gluten Free Chocolate Cake w/ Chickpeas

While we don't follow a gluten free diet in our home, I know a lot of people need to. I have a favorite chocolate cake recipe that I have been making for years, just because we love it. It has a very moist and rich texture.

1 1/2 cups smeisweet chocolate chips
2 cups cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Tb powdered sugar
 
In small bowl, melt chocolate in microwave oven, 2 minutes on medium power. Inblender or food processor, combine beans and eggs.  Add sugar, baking powder and chocolate; process until smooth. Pour batter into non-stick 9-inch round cake pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.  
It suggests serving it with raspberry sauce, but I just serve it plain.
