Quinoa Spice Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup uncooked quinoa
    1 cup buckwheat flour
    1 large organic apple, peeled and diced
    3 organic eggs
    1/2 cup organic butter, melted
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 cup raw sugar
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 teaspoon ginger
    1/2 cup organic raisins (optional)
    1 dash nutmeg or 1 dash allspice
    1 teaspoon real vanilla extract (or switch out for orange extract)
Preparation
    Cook quinoa and set aside. To cook quinoa, bring two cups of water to a boil. Add quinoa and a dash of salt and let simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until water has cooked off.
    Mix dry ingredients.
    Whisk butter and eggs together and add to dry mixture.
    Combine all ingredients, including quinoa, and stir in apple pieces.
    Pour into a greased 9-inch round pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes at 350\u00b0F.
    The best part about this recipe? It tastes great with a multitude of extras thrown inches Play around with a handful of chocolate chips and some candied ginger for a real treat.
    Note: This recipe works great for vegans too - just switch out the butter for margarine and the eggs for an egg replacer.
