Gluten Free, Amazingly Normal Tasting Chocolate Cake

I wish I could take credit for this one, because it is amazing. But, some other genius came up with this protein-rich, gluten-free delight. I make very little changes to this recipe from the original.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c dark chocolate chunks/chips
1 19 oz can of garbanzo beans. Yes, really. Chickpeas.
4 eggs
1/2 c sugar
1/4 cup Stevia in the Raw
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp powdered sugar (or xylitol) for dusting
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350F
Grease a round cake pan.
Melt your chocolate in a saucepan (or the microwave) and still until smooth.
Drain your beans, then drop them and the eggs into your food processor. Puree the suckers.
Add your sweeteners and your baking powder. Pulse it a couple of times.
Pour in your chocolate. Blend until thoroughly combined.
Empty the contents of your food processor into your cake pan and bake for 4oish minutes until the center of the cake is set and a toothpick inserted there comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan, on a rack for 15-20 minutes, then invert to a plate and dust with powdered sugar.
Thank me in the morning.
