Trying out new Recipe for Beans cake
As humans, we tend to try out new things. The point is that we are not just comfortable with where we are. We most times feel like exploring and creating something new. I am one of those who loves exploration, trying to create things outside what I already know.
I came across a recipe from a friend who said that she was able to prepare our popular Beans cake which we only prepare with water, beans, salt, onions and pepper, she prepared it with things I never imagined that could be used but ones I learnt it from her, I thought to myself that it will really be nice to try it out because it sounded reasonable.
Ever since over 3 weeks she told me about the recipe, I had been planning to try it out on a very good day.. I finally got the chance to try it out this past Saturday. Below are the recipes
| Quantity | Ingredients | amount (in naira) | amount (in steem) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 cups | black eyed beans | 500 | 10 |
| 2 | raw eggs | 400 | 8 |
| 1 | package of Holandia evap | 550 | 11 |
| To taste | Salt | 25 | 0.5 |
| To taste | Pepper | 100 | 2 |
| medium size | Onions | 50 | 1 |
| 1 bottle | vegetable oil | 3500 | 70 |
| Total | - | 5125 | 102.5 |
![]() | all the ingredients combined |

Some of the ingredients did finish only in preparing this quantity especially the vegetable oil because you need to deep fry. The salt also didn't finish and so on.
Preparation procedures
First, I selected the beans and washed to remove the skin

Then I took it to the commercial centre for grinding

I then mixed all the ingredients without following any particular order

| Adding the milk | ![]() |
The the oil was strictly for frying and so I didn't add it to the mixture.
When everything was set, I then set the pan on fire and added the oil for deep frying.
Then I scooped the mixture in batches and fried in batches until I was done with them all.

I served it with bread and tea. Otherwise, I would have serves it with pap.

It was really very yummy 😋😋😋! I enjoyed it with my family at night of the third place of the world cup.
That was how I tried out that new recipe and it makes sense because in place of water, I used milk though I also added small water to get the texture I really desired.
It's good to try out new things friends. You can't resist the tastes!

It looks so yummy! I'm already salivating just imagining how delicious it tastes. 😋 My only problem is that I don't know how to make akara crunchy, which is exactly how I like it. The first time I tried making it, it turned out too hard and dense. 😂🤣 Since then, I've just been buying it from the vendors. But after seeing your recipe, I think I'll give it another try. Hopefully, this time I'll get it right!
