Quinoa Applesauce Cake

Quinoa Applesauce Cake

1-3/4 cups quinoa flour
1 cup currants or other dried fruit
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. aluminum free baking powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 cup unsalted, sweet butter or 1/2 cup walnut oil
1 cup maple sugar
1 large Omega 3 egg
2 cups unsweetened, organic applesauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the flour over the currants and nuts and set aside. Blend the baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cloves with the remaining quinoa flour. Separately mix together butter or oil, sugar and egg. Combine all ingredients, adding the fruit and nuts at the end. Spoon into an oiled 8X8 inch cake pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
