Lentil Chocolate Cake with Barley Flour


If you've been around for awhile you might remember the Lentil Chocolate Cake we made back a few years ago when we started Joseph's Grainery and the blog.  MaMa and I thought it was time to make again, take better photos and incorporate Barley Flour into the recipe.

On another note, we had snow on the Palouse yesterday morning.  Grandpa was out and about and took this photo at the Artisan's Barn in Uniontown, Washington - it's a great place to stock up on your Joseph's Grainery Whole Grains and Legumes.


That's an old combine without it's header.  It would've been pulled by a tractor...looks a little different than what we use today, huh?
