A RICH CHOCOLATE CAKE MADE WITH QUINOA FLOUR AND ALMOND MEAL .

Ok turn your oven and preheat it to 160 deg C.
Then grease a round 20cm spring form pan  with cooking spray and line with baking paper .
Place 180 gm of good quality dark chocolate ( I always use Lindt dark chocolate .. 90% cacoa , it is a little more expensive ...but it is worth the end result ) in a medium saucepan with 125 gm of marg / butter , heat over a low heat till both are melted , stirring occasionally .
Remove from heat and allow to cool. Then stir in 1 and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract , 3/4 of  brown sugar ,1/2 cup of sifted quinoa flour, 1/3 cup of almond meal and 1 tbs of sifted cacoa powder .
Stir well to combine .
Now you need 4 eggs and separate them .
Add the egg yolks one at a time , stirring well after each addition .
In a separate bowl use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites till stiff , then fold  the egg whites into the chocolate  batter .
Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan , cook in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes until just firm .
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan  .
