  1. 1

    Cook the beans in a pot of water until tender. Depending on the variety, this may take about 30–40 minutes. Drain the cooked beans and blend them in a blender or with an immersion blender until smooth.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine the puréed beans with the corn. The corn can be fresh or canned. This mixture adds a touch of sweetness and an interesting texture to the cake. Stir well until everything is evenly incorporated.

  3. 3

    Add the coconut milk and sugar to the bean-and-corn mixture. These ingredients give the cake a creamy consistency and a pleasant sweetness. Stir everything well until a smooth, uniform batter forms.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake the cake at 180 °C (350 °F) for about 30–35 minutes, until set and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
