Preheat oven to 350°F and line a round 8” baking pan with parchment paper; Spray sides with cooking spray.
Place black beans in a food processor or blender, process until roughly broken down.
Add remaining wet ingredients and process until smooth - applesauce, almond milk, egg whites, maple syrup and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients and process again until just combined and smooth (scrape down sides if required); Chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, sugar replacement, instant coffee, baking powder and baking soda.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or the cake will be tough because of the protein powder.
Pour cake batter into prepared pan.
Bake on center rack for 30 minutes (cover with foil tent after 20 minutes). Tester inserted into the center should come out clean and edges should be coming off pan sides of pan.
Let cool in pan for 15 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
