Ingredients:

1 tbsp flaxseeds + 2 tbsp water

150g apple

50g courgette

60ml water

205ml olive oil

180ml maple syrup

90g cocoa powder

50g brown rice flour

50g buckwheat flour

20g ground almonds

1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

pinch salt

vanilla, to taste

Method:

Preheat the oven TO 225 C/ 437 F.

Firstly, mix the flax seeds and water together in a bowl, and then set aside to gel.

Next, core and chop your apple, and then add into a blender with the courgette and water. Blend until smooth. When this is done, pour it into a food processor, followed by the olive oil and maple syrup. Then, blend all of them together.

After this, pour in the flax mixture, cocoa powder, rice flour, buckwheat flour, ground almonds, bicarbonate of soda and apple cider vinegar. Add a pinch of salt and some vanilla to taste. Blend until smooth.

When the mixture is smooth, pour into a tray that’s about 8” x 8” and then place in the oven. Cook for 25-30 minutes, until the top has cracked and is fairly firm to touch. Then, remove from the heat and set aside to cool. When the cake has cooled, slice and serve.
