Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cake bakes evenly.
• Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
• Gradually add the white sugar to the wet mixture, whisking continuously until well combined.
• In another bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This helps to avoid any lumps and ensures even distribution.
• Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
• Gently fold in the cooked quinoa and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
• Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, spread the chocolate frosting generously on top.
