Flourless, gluten free chocolate cake recipe

For this recipe, I was quite curious to experiment with two flours I have grown quite fond of for taste and nutritional values: quinoa and amaranth. Adding them both to chocolate worked perfectly: they left the cake light, adding a grainier texture too. While amaranth flour adds protein and fiber — amaranth has three times more fiber than wheat, five times more iron, it contains calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and vitamins A and C — quinoa flour gives a moist nutty texture to the cake, perfect combined with chopped pecans tossed in the batter.

This recipe yields a gluten free chocolate, flourless cake with a brownie-like texture. Yum!
