GARBANZO CAKE (TORTA DE GARBANZOS)
Sweet chickpeas?Well,it's definitely unique,but it's also really good.it's dense,moist,and very sweet. This is probably kin to burfi or halva way back on the family tree-my guess is this is a recipe introduced by the Moors and adapted by the Spanish. Cooking your own chickpeas is preferable since they will always have a fresher nuttier taste and canned ones can be tinny.That being said, the recipe won't be a disaster if you use them.Definitely do not make these with leftover chickpeas that have already been seasoned with something savory.And yes,you should go ahead and skin them,it's worth the trouble. This has a lot of orange peel and is very sweet;if you like you can reduce the sugar down to about 3/4 cup and it should still turn out great.Adapted from original recipe in the Practical Encyclopedia of Mexican Cooking.

GARBANZO CAKE
I have not made this recipe myself. It is from a Mexican cookbook that I keep in my classroom. I have had students make this recipe in the past, and it is moist and delicious. You would never guess that it contained garbanzo beans (chick peas) The cookbook describes the cake's texture to be like that of Christmas pudding. It suggests slicing in thin slices and serving with fresh mango or pineapple and a spoonful of yogurt. We tried it plain, in thicker slices, and it was delicious. It contains no flour, so it would be perfect for wheat-free diets. The recipe states that it serves 6, but since it is a whole loaf, I've changed it to 12 servings.
