Looking for a moist and dense flavourful cake that passes as a brownie?
Look no further!
This awesome vegan gluten-free recipe is not only easy, but is healthy enough to eat a couple of slices yourself and anyone keen on chocolate for breakfast?? 😉
I like to slightly undercook this cake, coz I’m a sucker for gooey brownies. You can use any berry you have on hand; I chose Blackberries, but Boysenberries and raspberries would be amazing too.

Recipe Notes
I love googey brownies so if you want to under cook the cake then you can easily to that (as there's no eggs)
