Bean cake in Italian
Amazing cupcake, which there is not an ounce of flour. Incredibly tender, very crisp, with bright nutty flavor... Can be a long list of his dignity, but very, very difficult, almost impossible to guess what he baked.

Cooking

step-0
To prepare the products. The oil you need in advance remove from the refrigerator.
step-1
Soak the beans and leave overnight, then drain the water (this is mandatory!), beans rinse thoroughly under running water, cover with fresh cold water and boil until ready (preferably before cooking). The broth is drained, leaving half a Cup.
step-2
The cooled beans pass through a sieve. This is the most difficult operation, should be wiped in small portions, literally 2 tablespoons, adding a tea spoon of broth in each portion after the cores will be crushed on the sieve, it is easier wiping. The operation takes a long time, but replace the sieve in a blender or a meat grinder is not necessary, as when wiping is to be removed by fine dark skins of the beans and stay only for a better interior. This can be achieved only with the help of a sieve.
