White Bean and Yogurt Bundt Cake


Don't you know that you can also use canned U.S. White Beans as an ingredient in a cake?  Not only that you will use less butter in the recipe (that means your cake will contain less fat) but you also add fiber, protein, and micronutrients that you get from the U.S. White Beans into the cake too. 





U.S. White Beans are an excellent healthy choice. They contain plenty of valuable nutrients iron and potassium. They can help lower blood pressure and blood sugar, and their antioxidant content fights cell damage. And there is one study showed that an extract from white kidney beans may help reduce body weight and fat mass, ^^, so adding them into our cake is a very good choice, right?




It's very easy to use (when you use the canned U.S. White Beans, as you don't have to soak or boil it). Just rinsed, drained and puree the beans into a paste before beating it with the butter. The bean doesn't add a significant taste to the cake, so you can serve the cake plain or with many kinds of frosting. The only important point for this cake is the baking time, as the bean is lower in fat than the butter, over-baked the cake will make it become dry.
