<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI am not going to tell you this\u00a0recipe is \"healthy\", because that depends on your own dietary requirements. It is gluten free since the flour is replaced with cooked quinoa, but it still contains a fair amount of sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Quinoa Chocolate Cake is dark and moist and lightly sweet. Doubled it would make a great layer cake with your choice of frosting or other topping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I went with some chocolate syrup, because that's how I roll (translation, that's what was in the house).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- coconut oil\u00a0(or other neutral vegetable oil or butter)<\/li>\n\n\n\n

This is not a mocha flavored cake. The pinch of espresso powder intensifies the chocolate flavor. The cake does not taste or smell like coffee at all My boys wouldn't have devoured it if it even hinted of coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n
