Notes
Once it's set, top it with lime zest and blueberries or berry chia seed jam. Be careful when serving it as the cake is very delicate and it may be best to leave the bottom of the cake tin on! it's also best served straight out of the refrigerator so it's nice and firm. It stores up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
