Creative Nature:Chia and Mulberry Cake Mix

img_2605
I’m not great at following recipes, so why I try to write them, I don’t know. I followed the muffin mix recipe mostly, but I may have added 150g extra of chocolate chips – it was defiantly an accident. I used the version with eggs however they also include a vegan version. I then iced them with a basic chocolate ganache using equal quantities of warm cream to chocolate then sprinkling with crumbled flake.
On the whole this recipe was great, it was easy to follow with no fuss. However, this meant the final cakes had a denser texture compared to what I am used to. Nevertheless I only manages to eat one of the eighteen I bought to camp before they were all gone. I really liked the  flavour of the cakes, they weren’t too sweet – even with the extra chocolate. The appearance was rather rock like, they didn’t really rise or go golden brown, but when iced this wasn’t obvious.
Summary: I would use this mix again if I wanted something quick and easy, particularly if I needed to make vegan gluten free cakes.
