Butter and Flour Free Chocolate Cake by Hungry JennyThis contains chickpeas which might sound strange but actually works really well!

This was made in an 8" square tin. |

Butter Free Raspberry Polenta Cake by Hungry JennyThe quantity of polenta used is small, but is enough to work in that slightly gritty texture expected from a polenta cake. I also baked it in a shallower tin which results in a crunchy cased cake that is still soft and moist on the inside. |
