Isn't it amazing you can actually make a cake (& a delicious & moist one at that!) with quinoa???
I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty, chocolate-y and MOIST this great dessert was.
Quinoa is one of the healthiest grains you can get. It has about the same amount of calories as regular rice, but it's more nutritious and higher in fiber than either brown or white rice. Quinoa is good source of protein.
You mix the quinoa with milk, eggs and vanilla in the blender for a while, then add to the dry ingredients.
It's easy to mix up and no one will EVER guess it's a fairly healthy dessert!
