Peaches and Chia Seeds Cake

This is really easy to make: a light and delicious Peaches and Chia Seeds Cake.
It’s also perfect for a lactose and egg free diet.
Chia seeds are extremely rich in omega 3, minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants, and are a great substitute to eggs in almost every recipe for vegans, thanks to their oozy texture.
I normally soak 1 table spoon of seeds in 3 table spoons of water for best results.
Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 large peach
2 table spoons fine brown sugar
1/2 cup of water

100 gr fine brown sugar
2 table spoons chia seeds previously soaked in 6 table spoons of water (min 10 min)
230 gr kamut flour
50 gr margarine
100 ml soy milk (roughly half a cup)
1 pinch of salt
2 tea spoons baking powder (8 gr)
1 lemon zest

Instructions:

Peel and slice the peach, put it in a pan and leave it to simmer gently with half a cup of water and 2 table spoons of sugar for about 20/25 minutes on a low flame. Leave it to cool at room temperature.

Now work all the cake ingredients together until you reach a smooth texture.
Line with parchment paper a 22cm diameter baking tin, arrange the caramelized peaches at the bottom first and then pour the cake mixture on top.

Bake in a pre heated ventilated oven at 190° for about 25/30 minutes.

Literally, that easy!
