This is sooo good!! It's tender, slightly fudgy, sweet but not overly so - I imagine this would be wonderful with a scoop of vanilla/coffee ice cream. I halved the recipe, and baked in a small loaf pan, baking time was 40mins at 150°C. I emailed chia about the temp, not quite sure if it's really so low. She confirmed it; definitely bake it at low temp for a longer time - the cake was moist and yummy! And the recipe couldn't be easier - I just stir everything by hand! edited to add - I omitted the nuts. It's still very, very good.
