Ingredients
4 whole eggs
1 cup organic evaporated cane juice/ or organic white sugar/ or coconut sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and then line two round cake pans (or a 9x13” pan) with parchment paper.
In a food processor or blender, combine the eggs, almond milk (or preferred milk) and vanilla extract then blend for
ten seconds to combine.
Add the cooked and cooled quinoa along with the melted and cooled Earth Balance and coconut oil (could also use
all regular butter) then blend until completely smooth, about thirty seconds to one minute.
Sift together the dry ingredients in a large bowl (cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt).
Add the wet ingredients in the blender to the bowl with the dry and mix together until well-combined.
Divide the batter between the two pans and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool.
To make the frosting you will need to refrigerate the coconut milk overnight (in the coldest part of your refrigerator)
so that the cream separates.
When you are ready to make it, melt the chocolate in a sauce pan over low-medium heat. Grab the coconut milk
from the refrigerator but don’t shake the can or turn it upside down before opening. Open the can and scoop out the
solid parts with a spoon, placing them into the pot with the chocolate. It’s okay if it the solid parts on completely
separated, just try to get as much of the thicker portions as possible. Melt the coconut cream and chocolate together
then transfer to a large bowl that you can later use to whip it in. (note: if the melted chocolate/coconut milk mixture
still appears really dark you can add more coconut milk to lighten it up so that the end result isn't bitter)
Allow to cool on the counter then cover and refrigerate for several hours, until thickened. Once it has thickened,
remove from the refrigerator and beat on high for thirty seconds to one minute, until a fluffy icing has formed. (I
made mine the night before baking the cake).
Transfer the cakes to a surface for icing with the bottom side up. I recommend that you only transfer the cakes once
as they are fragile and difficult to hold together once removed from the parchment paper.
Frost the cake and refrigerate until ready to serve. The icing will melt in really warm conditions but should be fine
for a few hours in cooler settings.
Notes
*approximately 3/4 cup dry quinoa will yield 2 cups cooked quinoa. I like to soak it overnight, rinse and then cook it
in 1.5 cup water by bringing the water to a boil, adding the quinoa and then reducing to a simmer. Cover and cook
for 10-12 minutes. Quinoa should be soft and fluffy, you don’t want any crunchy pieces in the cake!
note: using light coconut milk may result in undesirable results for the icing
(time does not include chilling coconut milk overnight or chilling the icing after it's made)
Serves 6-8

Wine Slushies
Ingredients:
In a blender, combine the 2 cups wine and the peaches. Puree until smooth. Pour mixture in a medium bowl.
Add the strawberries and remaining wine to the blender and puree until smooth.
If the mixtures are too liquidy, place then in the freezer until they "slush up" - mixing them every 15 minutes.
You can make these in advance and defrost for 15 minutes at room temp. before serving.

Corn Fritters
Chocolate Cookie
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs, beaten
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch salt
German Chocolate Frosting
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
½ cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
Optional: ¼ cup chocolate candy coating, melted for drizzle
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer or large bowl using a hand mixer, blend the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and
eggs. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture into
the butter mixture and blend until combined.
Drop the dough by tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets, 12 cookies per sheet, and bake 8 to 10 minutes.
Cool on a baking rack.
Add evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla to a large pan and place on stovetop over medium heat.
Stir so that it becomes well combined. Continue stirring until thickened, this takes approximately 11-12 minutes. I
set my time for 11 minutes and 30 seconds, this seems to work every time.
Once thickened remove from heat and add coconut and pecans. Beat until thick enough to spread.
Optional: Drizzle with melted candy coating and let set up. Top with white chocolate heart.
Instructions
Cover the bottom of an 8 or 9 inch square pan with fruit. (I prefer an 8 inch or 9 inch square glass baking dish. You
could also use a deep dish glass pie plate.)
Mix 3/4 cup sugar, butter, baking powder, salt, extracts, milk and flour together (add a little more milk if it is too
thick to pour); pour over fruit. Mix remaining sugar and cornstarch; sprinkle over mixture in pan. Pour boiling
water over the top.
( I know this sounds strange, but it works to create a pudding around the rhubarb in the bottom of the pan.)
Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes,
