Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Chocolate Quinoa Cake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350Β°F (175Β°C) and generously greasing a rectangular cake pan to ensure your creation slides out effortlessly.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the chilled, cooked quinoa with melted butter, eggs, milk, and a splash of vanilla extract.
Step 3
Blend until the mixture transforms into a silky smooth batter.
Step 4
In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt, creating a rich dry mixture.
Step 5
Pour the quinoa blend into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 6
If youβre feeling indulgent, fold in chocolate chips and chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly scattered throughout the batter.
Step 7
Transfer this luscious mixture into your prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly to create a perfect surface.
Step 8
Place the pan in the preheated oven and let it bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your cake is ready.
Step 9
Once baked to perfection, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful fusion of flavors in every bite!.
