this recipe was given to me by a co-worker of mine
who loves to bake and cook. i was skeptical of the recipe
at first but at the end of the day, a really great product came of it
here's the recipe:
2/3c quinoa
1 1/3c water
1/2 c milk
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c butter melted, cooled
1 1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
add quinoa and water to a pot with a tight fitting lid.
bring water to a boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
shut off heat and leave to cool, fluff with fork.
preheat oven to 350. f
grease and line with parchment an 8" round pan (i didn't line with parchment,
just greased with baking pam and it turned out perfect)
in a blender, blend eggs, vanilla and milk.
then add cooled quinoa and blend until smooth.
add the butter blend.
in a bowl, sift together the dry ingredients.
pour wet ingredients into the dry, mixing well.
pour into prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes.
(no more no less, otherwise you'll end up with a gooey mess)
test with toothpick to ensure baked all the way through.
voila!
tastes just like a regular chocolate cake except more moist,
serve with any kind of icing!
enjoy :)
