Ingredients

For Preparing Cooked Quinoa

200 gm India Gate - Quinoa 1 inch Cinnamon Stick

3 Cup Water 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Other Ingredients

1 Cup Milk 150 gm Dark Chocolate

50 gm Butter 50 ml Sunflower Oil

4 Eggs 150 gm Powdered Sugar

50 ml Instant Coffee Powder 1.5 teaspoon Baking Powder

0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda

For Garnishing

100 gm Dark Chocolate 200 ml Cream

1 teaspoon Butter 100 gm Pistachios

Few Cherries

Cooking Steps

Preparation

Step 1 :

Wash the quinoa (rubbing it thoroughly to remove the bitter taste). Drain the water. Boil the quinoa in 3 cups water with the cinnamon stick and salt.

Step 2 :

Once it starts to boil, reduce the flame and cook it covered for about 20 minutes. Then drain any remaining water and keep it aside.

Step 3 : Cake Preparation

Take milk and the compound chocolate in a vessel and stir it on a low flame. Once the chocolate dissolves, take it off the flame and add the butter and oil. Mix until the butter is completely melted. Add the hot strong coffee to this mixture. Once this mixture cools down, add in the eggs and mix well.

Step 4 :

Sieve the baking powder, baking soda and the powdered sugar together.

Step 5 :

Then add the powders to the chocolate mix and transfer it to a bigger bowl. Add the cooled down quinoa and mix well.

Step 6 :

Preheat the oven at 250-degrees for 10 minutes. Transfer half the cake batter into an 8-inch wide greased mould. Bake it for 30 minutes. You will notice the knife comes out clean when inserted into the cake. Bake the other half of the batter in the same way for 30 minutes. Once cool, it is ready for garnishing.

Step 7 : To prepare the chocolate ganache

Take the cream and dissolve the compound chocolate on a low flame. Add a tsp of butter for the glaze. Place one of the cooled cakes on a round piece of cake base card board and add a layer of chocolate ganache on the top of it.

Step 8 :

Then place the other layer of cake and pour the remaining ganache on top of the cake. Ensure the whole cake is covered with the ganache. Garnish the sides of the cake with the granulated pistachios. Sprinkle a few pistachios on top of the cake and decorate it with cherries or fruits (optional).
