I have always loved to try "unusual" recipes, such as bread salad (made
with cubes of buttered bread and surprisingly good!) and also Popcorn
Salad (very good) a quick bread made with baby prunes, Chocolate
Sauerkraut Cake, a molded gelatin salad with beets, ribs cooked with
root beer and stew with grape jelly in it, Peanut Butter Baking Powder
Biscuits, and Kitty Litter Dessert, which all sound strange, but
actually all were quite good. This is probably one of the most unusual
things I ever made that we liked real well

Lima Bean Cake

1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen lima beans
3 egg whites
3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar - divided
1/2 cup ground walnuts
1/2 cup flour
2 tbsp. bread crumbs
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. rum extract

Cook lima beans, according to directions on the package, until very
soft. Put through a food mill, or ricer, discarding skins - measure 1
cup puree. Beat egg whites till soft peaks form, gradually beat in 1/2
cup sugar and beat until mixture forms stiff peaks. Set aside. Beat egg
yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until thick and lemon-colored; add
lima beans and remaining ingredients, blending well. Fold in beaten egg
whites. Turn into a greased and paper-lined 9x9 inch square pan. Bake at
350º for about 30 to 35 minutes, until tests done. Frost with a lemon
butter frosting.

Serves 8 and only 210 calories per serving.

That does sound unusual, but I do bet it's good.
