Decadent Chocolate Quinoa Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 cups cold cooked quinoa
  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by coating it with a generous amount of grease. This will ensure that the cake releases smoothly once it's baked.
3
In a blender, combine quinoa, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend the ingredients together until they form a smooth, uniform mixture.
4
In a separate large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This will help to create a harmonious balance of flavors in your cake.
5
Once you've combined the dry ingredients, slowly pour the quinoa mixture into the bowl and stir until everything is well incorporated.
6
At this point, fold in your chocolate chips and pecans to add a delightful texture and flavor contrast to your cake.
7
Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and place it in the preheated oven.
8
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9
Finally, remove the cake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
