This recipe is from Paula Shoyer and it is absolutely wonderful and delicious. Paula totally nailed it making sure you would not taste or feel the quinoa grains, it’s moist and full of flavor. It’s super super easy to make. It has only two steps. Cook the quinoa, and process everything together. Boom! An hour later and you have cake.
My only variation from the recipe would be not using the glaze, and simply glazing it with a tbsp of cocoa, a cup of powder sugar, and water. After a few days, the glaze was hard and not shiny. Not tempting at all.
