400th Recipe: Quinoa flour eggless chocolate cake
About:
The combination of Quinoa with Chocolate is flawless, effortless and delicious. It is a heaven in a spoonful. You can’t even tell it is made of Quinoa flour instead of plain flour. It is grainy in texture as I used homemade flour. It is so filling and rich dark chocolaty satisfies your taste buds with small amounts of calories. This is also rich in protein and dietary fibre.
