Quinoa Chocolate Cake

Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Cook the quinoa in the water.
  • To do this, add both ingredients to a pan, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  • At this point, put the lid on, lower the heat and simmer for approx 10 minutes.
  • Shut off the heat and leave the pan on the burner to continue cooking slightly for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Mix it somewhat with a fork and allow to cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare an 8 inch springform pan.
  • I greased and lined the sides and bottom with parchment.
  • Using a stand mixer put the eggs, vanilla and milk in a bowl.
  • Add 2 cups of the cooked quinoa.
  • Combine these ingredients, then add the butter.
  • Blend until everything is smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix.
  • Place the mixture into the cake pan.
  • Cook for approximately 50 minutes.
  • It is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. (I found the cake took longer to bake for me. With the altitude here, my times can be different)
  • I let the cake cool completely and once removed from the pan I covered the cake in a dark chocolate ganache.
