These cake pies were just so fun to make and work out but by far the strangest way to cook, They are heavy to hold but they are light to eat sounds criptic doesn't it?  I have called them cake pies because they are more the consistancy of both which is strange i know but it works and they have a lovely taste.



Ingredients:
2oz Almond Flour
2oz Sorghum Flour
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Xanthan Gum
2oz Unrefined Light Brown Sugar
3oz Coconut Oil
1/2oz Pure Spread
1 Tsp Poppy Seeds
3 Tsp Lemon Juice
1 Tsp Vanilla Paste
2 Tsp Ground Chia Seeds
4 Tsp Hot Water
60ml Cold Water
2 Tbls Agave Nectar



First make your Chia Egg by combining your ground chia seeds to hot water then leave to one side until needed.

Add your sorghum flour, almond flour, baking powder, sugar and xanthan gum to a bowl and mix together.


Melt your coconut oil and add it to your flour mix.

Then mix it all together.




Add the Pure next and mix it into a dough.



Your dough should look something like this.

Now add your poppy seeds and stir.











Now stir in your lemon juice, vanilla paste and agave nectar and chia egg.


You should now have a loose dough.

Next add your cold water and stir it all in to make a lovely sticky batter.

Spoon your mixture into their cases.

Pop them into the oven on gas mark 5 for 25 minutes.




The tops are lovely and risen but the bottoms need cooking.















When your alarm has gone off quickly and carefully turn your cakes over and put them back into the oven for a futher 15 minutes.









Now your the bottoms of your cakes should be cooked.



Put them onto a rack to cool completely because they need to set in the middle.

Best eaten when completely cooled as they will have set and it brings out the flavour more. so hold your horses. Or leave them over night.



Now your cakes have completely cooled, You can devour them.

They should be crumbly but should not fall apart when picked up.

Hope you like them....
