Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius and grease a 7″ spring form cake tin with melted coconut oil.
  2. In a food processor, combine all ingredients except for the chia seeds, into a smooth consistency. NOTE: Only use 2 cups of black turtle beans in total as they increase in size after soaking. Takes approx. 5mins or so.
  3. Add 2-3 tbs of water to chia seeds and stir until coagulated. Once done, stir into chocolate cake mixture (you will feel the mixture begin to thicken as a result).
  4. Pour mixture into a cake tin and bake for 30mins.
  5. Allow to cool for 20mins before placing in the fridge to set completely (approx. 20mins more).
Recipe Notes

Things to think about:

‘All good things take time’ as the saying goes, and time is definitely a factor of this vegan chocolate cake due to the black turtle beans needing to be soaked overnight.
Use a spring-form cake tin to make life simple.
Quite a few ingredients, some of which may (or may not!) be optional (E.g. blueberries and Chinese red dates). We’ll do some further testing in future and let you know!
