Passionate Chocolate Sponge Cake - Passover Appropriate

This all natural GF, nut-free, preservative-free and dye-free sponge style cake is totally unleavened like its vanilla counterpart! Yes, totally appropriate for celebrating passover and enjoyable anytime with a cuppa tea or coffee. It's made with quinoa flour, organic unsweet cocoa, a skosh of black coffee and finished off with a light dusting of kosher confectioner sugar (contains no cornstarch) and the texture is feathery light and tastes of the ever so subtle tones of the rich chocolate prominent flavor. What is quinoa, anyway. You hear a lot about it but it's totally brand new to me not having any experience using or even eating it, until now. And, thanks to a business that asked if I could make a yellow and chocolate passover cake I set out to see what I could come up with to master this challenge. So the little grey cells went to work researching appropriate flours that are kosher and also had to be gluten-free and nut-free. I settled on quinoa, a flowering plant in the amaranth family and yields edible seeds that are rich in protein, tons of vitamins and minerals. Ground up you then have quinoa flour. Finally, test number two with this flour along with potato flour and lots of eggs produced an amazingly light, healthy, delicious and understated on the sweet side of things, superb result.
