These turned out wonderfully!! I was pleasantly surprised by how well they stayed together. No falling apart in the pan or anything. I actually ended up omitting the queso fresco altogether (couldn’t find it at the store) and didn’t feel like they would have needed it. They had a nice, dense and moist texture with just a little bit of crisp on the outside. Love that nutty flavor from the quinoa!

Speaking of putting “quinoa” and “cake” together in the same sentence, I have the book “365 Days of Quinoa.” In it is a recipe for a flourless chocolate cake made with quinoa. It is fantastic!

I made it for my son’s 3rd AND 4th birthday parties and everyone ate it up. It is rather dense and very fudge-like.

A quick google search turned up this slight variation on the recipe: http://swervecalgary.com/2011/04/22/quinoa-chocolate-cake/

ground up some oatmeal instead of bread crumbs, 2 eggs seemed like plenty to me.

very yummy (did not make the aioli or use pepper flakes).

would love to try something different than cumin. maybe parsley, plus??? thyme, marjoram, any ideas.

I have heard a lot about quinoa too.. making me so curious about it. If I try it the first time using your recipe, I know it will turn out well. Your recipe looks great!

Uhhh I can definitely relate to the tight jeans lately, ugh! Looks like I need to make these–I’m always looking for new ways to use quinoa!

I love the texture of quinoa, and the aioli on these cakes looks fantastic. A sweet version sounds great too!

This post cracked me up! The little tails scare you – I kinda get that. They’re weird.
I’m sure you’ll find a way to incorporate chocolate chips or pumpkin (or both) into these. Until then, I’d love to try this version, sounds good!
