Chia Pudding Cake

Vegan Chia Pudding Cake is a guilt-free indulgence that harmoniously combines the creamy richness of chia pudding with the decadence of a cake. Layers of velvety chia pudding infused with plant-based sweetness create a luscious texture, while the cake’s crumbly exterior adds a delightful contrast. This dessert not only satisfies sweet cravings but also embraces the health-conscious essence of vegan culinary creativity.
