Healthy Orange Chia Cake

• FOR THE CAKE:
• 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Buckwheat Flour
• 1/2 cups Ground Almonds
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Applesauce
• 1/3 cups Clear Honey
• 1 whole Large Orange, Zest And Juice
• 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, Melted
• FOR THE FROSTING:
• 1 Tablespoon Cacao Powder
• 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
• 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, Melted

1. Soak the chia seeds in the water for 10 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 180 C/355 F.
3. In a medium sized bowl mix together all of the dry ingredients (flour through salt).
4. Whisk together the chia seed mixture, unsweetened applesauce, honey, orange zest, orange juice and coconut oil in a separate larger bowl.
5. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet. Make sure you mix everything together really well. I used a whisk.
6. Pour the batter into a greased 20x20 cm baking dish and bake the cake for 20 minutes. When done, the cake should feel firm and a toothpick should come out clean when inserted in the center.
7. To make the chocolate frosting, combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl and mix. Pour over the cake when it is cooled down.
