Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 20cm square, 6cm deep baking tin with baking paper.

Step 2

Sift the flour, cacao powder, baking powder and ground cinnamon into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and mix well to combine, making sure there are no lumps.

Step 3

In a small jug or cup, mix the chia seeds with eight tablespoons of water and let stand for 5 minutes. This will make a chia “egg”.

Step 4

In a food processor or using a hand-held mixer, cream together the cashew butter and sugar until smooth. Add the almond milk and mix well. Add the chia “egg” and vanilla extract. Mix well again.

Step 5

Tip the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix well to create a smooth batter. Once smooth, add the orange zest, dark chocolate chips and goji berries and mix well.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the tin and bake in the centre of the oven for 45 minutes.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before decorating.

Step 8

To make the icing, sift the cacao powder and sugar into a mixing bowl. Transfer to a food processor and add the vegetable shortening. Blitz to combine, then gradually add the almond milk, mixing well between additions, to create a smooth icing.

Step 9

Transfer the cooled brownie cake to a serving dish and spread the icing over the top. Scatter over the fresh raspberries and serve.
