Thank you so much for sharing 🙂 this looks so delicious and a great substitute for a healthier dessert. This is the best video presentation that I have seen up to now and as a Health & Fitness Coach I do A LOT of scanning. I congratulate you for this professional and creative video. 🙂 You deserve to ‘make it big’
That’s so nice to hear such lovley words, thank you 🙂
Would it ruin the taste to go ahead and cook the quinoa without adding too much water so it will be fluffy and wait until it’s cool?
Or have you tried the cooked Quinoa in this recipe?
Hello, I haven’t tried doing that but I’m not sure that it would make it that much fluffier – a different mix would probably be needed. But if you try it do report back 🙂
Very delicious! One of my favourite cakes.Love it❤Thank you for such a fantastic receipt😙
Thanks, you’re welcome 🙂
You are such an artist!love your recipes
Thanks, thats really nice of you 🙂
This is one of my favorite!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 Can’t wait to make it!!! Only one question: if I don’t make the avocado chocolate icing, the cake would be enough sweet to eat alone? I hope I explained myself 😅
Hello, yes I think it would be sweet enough – I would certainly eat it like that for a less rich and decadent snack 🙂
