Ingredients

• 1 15 oz can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
• ½ cup soy buttermilk (soy milk combined with 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar)
• 1 cup Vegan Butter (aka Earth Balance)
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 15 oz can pureed pumpkin
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 ½ cups flour, (either regular flour or for a gluten-free version use: 1 cup buckwheat flour, 1½ cups brown rice flour)
• ½ cup corn starch
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground allspice
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting

Directions

• Heat oven to 350*F. Spray a 9 X 13 baking pan with vegetable spray In a food processor, combine the rinsed chickpeas with the soy buttermilk. Pulse for several seconds until the chickpeas are smooth. Add the Vegan Butter and sugar and pulse some more until everything is good and creamy.  Add the pumpkin and vanilla and pulse a little more, for the fun of it. In a separate bowl stir together the flour, corn starch, baking soda, salt, cinnamon nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir until well combined. Next pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour mixture and stir until well-combined. Just say no to clumps of flour in your batter! Thats what I say! Add chopped pecans if youre into that kind of thing. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and bake for about 35 - 40 minutes. You can always do the old piece of dry spaghetti trick. Insert a piece of dry spaghetti into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done! If not, you should let it bake for another 5 minutes or so. Allow the cake to cool before adding the Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting.
