Vincci Tsui's 2 Minute Quinoa Cake

Course: chocolate, Dessert, Snack, treat
Author: Vincci Tsui

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp cocoa
  • 2 tbsp quinoa flour or any flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp instant coffee
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • In an 8-oz coffee mug, stir together cocoa, quinoa flour, sugar, instant coffee, salt and baking soda with a fork until well-blended.
  • Stir in milk, coconut oil and vanilla until all ingredients are moistened. Don't worry if the mixture is a bit gloppy and not smooth on top.
  • Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 2 minutes. Serve warm with a sprinkle of fleur de sel, a dusting of icing sugar or a spoonful of whipped cream or ice cream. A glass of milk doesn't hurt either.
