Ingredients

  • 2 cups Quinoa - cooked
  • cup Milk (more to blend cooked quinoa)

  • ¾ cups Butter (1½ sticks)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Pure
  • cups Sugar

  • ½ tsp Baking Soda

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 12 cup bundt cake pan or 2 8" round cake pans.
  • Quinoa should be cooked a little soft so it is easy to blend into a smooth paste. Grind the cooked quinoa into a smooth paste using an immersion blender. Add milk as needed to get to a smooth consistency.
  • Combine milk, eggs and vanilla in a food processor. Pulse until well combined. Next add melted butter and quinoa paste and pulse until smooth and mixed through.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add the contents of the food processor to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just incorporated. Do not over mix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 50-60 minutes if using the bundt cake pan and 40-45 minutes if using the smaller cake pans.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it onto the wire rack to cool completely.
