Chocolate Quinoa Cake
We’re in Toronto now – we took the 12 hour (actually 13 hour) ride from Penn Station in New York yesterday – through Yonkers, Poughkeepsie, Albany, Schenectady, Utica, Syracuse, Buffalo, Niagara Falls – it was beautiful and comfy (business class) and great, until the last few hours. We arrived in Toronto tired and cranky, having eaten far too many snacks and forgotten to bring movies for W to watch. He had a bath, and got something to eat, and I was too tired to sit down and pull together all that has happened for the past few days in New York. Just: wow.
But – I do have a post going up that tells all about this chocolate quinoa cake. It’s brilliant. It’s not made with quinoa flour, but actual cooked quinoa, whizzed into a batter with sugar and eggs and cocoa and flour, then baked into this rich, dark cake that has a texture better than any gluten-free cake I’ve tried (admittedly I’m not a gluten free expert, but I do know what good cake tastes like, and this is it). Just look at it! It tastes as good as it looks. I posted the recipe over at Family Kitchen.
(Soon, I’ll tell you all about meeting the girls from FK – we call each other FKers – in New York! At a hip little wine bar in Chelsea? How SJP is that? After getting myself lost on the subway, of course.)
