passionfruit, coconut + chia cake


Serves 8
Wet ingredients
2 eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup rice milk
1/4 cup honey
1.5 tablespoons nuttelex
1/3 cup passionfruit pulp
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt
Dry ingredients
1 cups gluten-free self-raising flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup fine desiccated coconut
1/4 cup ground chia seeds


Method
  1. Prepare 18cm round cake tin by greasing with coconut oil
  2. Preheat oven to 180°C
  3. In a food processor or hand-blender, mix wet ingredients until well combined and smooth at medium-high speed
  4. Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl
  5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix gently to combine
  6. Spoon mixture into a cake tin and bake for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean
  7. Remove and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving

Notes
You can sprinkle extra desiccated coconut or passionfruit pulp for decoration. It also tastes great served with vanilla coconut ice cream. 

The cake pictured above was baked using double the quantities of ingredients to serve 12 larger pieces. I found that the centre of the cake didn't cook as well being a very moist mixture. That is why this cake recipe is also great for making muffins...



Does Poppy want a passionfruit, coconut + chia muffin? Sleepy face with ears pulled back in confusion.
