Introduction

The original recipe for Nega Maluca is a Brazilian classic, and is a super-simple chocolate cake. The name can be translated as “Crazy Black Woman” - and it will dye your mouth black if you aren't careful!

I jazzed up the traditional recipe (made with buckwheat flour and cornstarch) by adding chia gel and eggnog for a bit of extra binding and flavour. It takes a while to bake through, but it is worth every agonizing minute!

Ingredients

    2 tbsp chia seed
    ¼ cup hot water
    1 cup flour
    1 cup buckwheat flour
    ½ cup cocoa
    1 tbsp baking powder
    ¼ tsp salt
    2 tbsp instant coffee granules
    ½ cup whole milk

    2/3 cup Demerara sugar
    1/3 cup canola oil
    1 tbsp honey
    1 tbsp vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F, grease a 9" pan.
Whisk together the chia seed and hot water, let stand 10 minutes.
Whisk together the flours, cocoa, baking powder, salt and coffee in a bowl.
Combine the whole milk and egg nog in a saucepot or microwave safe bowl, bring to just below a simmer (it should be almost too hot to touch).
Add the hot mixture to the dry ingredients, followed by the sugar, oil, honey, vanilla and chia seed mixture. Beat with a spatula or wooden spoon about 1 minute.
Bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before turning out.
