This cake was a real hit when I made it and we did a taste test in the shop!

Ingredients:

85g White Chia Seed
1 cup Water
200g Dark Chocolate, broken into pieces
125g Unsalted Butter
5 large eggs, separated
175g ground Hazelnuts or Almonds
210g Sugar (I used rapadura)

• Preheat oven to 180ºC. Grease and line a 22cm springform pan.
• Melt butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Allow to cool.
• Soak Chia Seeds in water for 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, beat egg whites and 1/3 cup of the sugar until soft peaks form.
• In a large bowl, beat the remaining sugar and egg yolks.
• Using a metal spoon, fold into the egg yolk mixture the cool chocolate mixture.
• Next fold in the hazelnuts or almonds and chia seeds.
• Finally fold in the egg white mixture.
• Pour mixture into the pan. Bake for approx. 50 minutes. Allow to cool, then remove from the pan. Decorate with icing sugar or melted chocolate.
