Great recipe! Love how it's
Great recipe! Love how it's so simple.
I used coconut sugar instead and found it wasn't quite sweet enough. Easily fixed with some coconut nectar drizzled on top just before eating.
Baked in a muffin tin for 25mins.
Very filling! I'll be making these again.
Might add some LSA to the next batch.

I'd be interested if you have a go with Stevia as I'm gluten dairy and sugar free.

Thank you for the recipe. I had to make a couple of adjustments to save a trip to the shops - substituted a mixture of pine nuts, walnuts and cashews for the almonds and Crio Bru for the Cacao - have not made the original but I was very happy with how the cake turned out.

This cake was a success in
This cake was a success in our household! Even my 'NON chocolate cake lover' son loved it! Beautifully moist. Hubby thought it could be slightly more chocolately and next time I am going to try using a cup of espresso in place of the water to soak the chia seeds!
Thanks for a beautiful recipe. I'll be posting it on my facebook page - www.facebook.com/mellymaks

This is a lovely cake that seems pretty healthy as cakes go! It's not overly sweet and has a light chocolate flavour. The chia seeds give it a nuttiness. I'm reducing my calorie and sugar intake at the moment so this cake has saved me from falling off the wagon completely. Thank you!

Oh I meant cocao powder... I was looking for a healthier choc cake with some nutrition. I think I will just try it! I am most fascinated by the idea of the chia seeds soaking and turning into a gel! Thanks!
Depends on your tastebuds...
Depends on your tastebuds... we find it chocolatey enough However it's not meant to be a conventional recipe - more a slightly healthier version of choc cake! Rapadura Sugar and Cacao Powder are unrefined alternatives to Brown Sugar and Cocoa Powder and have more goodness
Try it and see if you like it!

This sounds amazing and I
This sounds amazing and I will definitely try it... however I am wondering about the 'light' chocolate flavour as I prefer richer chocolate cakes. Has anyone experimented with using say, dark brown sugar and more cocoa powder to make it more chocolatey?
Thanks Danielle for
Thanks Danielle for your helpful and honest review! And yes it has helped us stay on the wagon too! It keeps well in the fridge and seems to taste even better each time you take a nibble

So I was wondering what if you take the sugar out and replace with Stevia....It would make it even healthier. Does anyone know how much Stevia it would take?
