Instructions
 

  • Begin by mixing 1 tbsp of chia seeds with 4 tbsp of water, then set aside for 10 minutes to thicken
  • In a large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients, flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, coconut sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil and coconut milk, then pour into the dry ingredients and whisk all ingredients together until well incorporated.
  • The mixture should seem lumpy, thick and dry.
  • Pour the batter into a baking cake tin and bake for 30 minutes or slightly less so as not to dry the cake too much.
