Yes, we created this vegan cake in honour of the season. Ground chia seeds are used as a binding agent instead of eggs, while the coconut milk plant-based beverage ensures that the cake remains perfectly moist. The cake has a beautiful marble effect, as well as the irresistible aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg.
