Boil the Quinoa as per the packet Instructions.¾ Cup of dry Quinoa will yield about 3.5 Cups of Cooked Quinoa.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or a microwave.Cool it a bit till it's not just warm.
In a blender,Add the cooked quinoa first followed by orange juice, eggs and then rest of the ingredients along with the melted chocolate.
Blend till you get a smooth batter-like a smoothie.The more you blend the better the texture of the cake.So take your time here(about 5-10 minutes) and keep scraping the sides with a spatula.
Prepare a baking tin.If using a bundt cake-brush the sides with oil and sprinkle cocoa powder so that the cake comes out easily.
Bake the cake for 50 minutes at 180 degree C or 350 degree F.
Remove & Place on the wire rack.Let it cool before removing from the baking pan.
