Quinoa chocolate cake recipe no flour healthy cake with step by step pictures.
I came across this recipe and was excited to see it without flour so immediately adapted and tried it.Trust me this chocolate cake was so yum and tastes just like our regular chocolate cake, the whole family enjoyed it so much.
I used a slightly wide pan, the cake doesn’t rise much but the texture I tell you it was just awesome that I am drooling at the pics now as this cake was made and clicked some 2 months back.
This quinoa chocolate cake tastes great on it own incase if you want you can add chocolate sauce and serve.I just drizzled chocolate sauce for a slice for pics sake and kept the rest as such.Kids loved it so much and enjoyed taking it for their school snack box too.
