Spiced Orange Black Bean Cake

This delicious, gluten and refined-sugar free chocolate cake does not taste of black beans at all and is always a hit at the table! We like the combination of Mixed Spice with the orange zest, however many of our sweet blends will pair well, or try adding 1/2 teaspoon of chilli powder for something different.
