Is it too obvious that I am OBSESSED with chia recipes?
You can search for ‘chia’ in the search toolbar and more than 10 recipes will simply pop up, haha.
This Vanilla Chia Loaf Cake is no less of a surprise. It crumbles in the mouth and the texture is as smooth as silk. I instantly fell in love with it.

For days when you want to be innovative yet want to run safe, this vanilla chia loaf cake topped with white ganache is your best shot! This way, you can stick to the simplest of all- vanilla cake and yet bring about a twist in the entire dish. I love such recipes, the ones that can so easily be elevated to another level with such little efforts. I feel super content at the end of it.

I hope you guys like this recipe. Let me know about your thoughts in the comments!
