Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and lightly flour 2 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a blender or food processor, puree chickpeas (garbanzos) with lemon juice, oil and lemon zest. Add egg yolks and blend well. Turn mixture into a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, ½ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to blend. Add to pureed chickpea mixture and mix well.
- In another medium bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add remaining ½ cup sugar slowly, beating until whites form peaks that are stiff but not dry.
- Fold beaten egg whites into chickpea mixture.
- Pour batter into the prepared pans and bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack, then turn cake out of pans and cool completely.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon lemon juice over each round and sprinkle tops with powdered sugar. May stack layers if you want.
