Raw Chocolate Cake
(Adapted from the recipe by Ani Phyo)
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 3 cups dry walnuts
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cacao powder
- ¼ tsp unrefined salt
- 1 cup pitted dates
For the Frosting
- ½ cup date paste
- ½ cup ripe avocado flesh (from about 1 medium-sized avocado)
- ⅓ cup cacao powder
Method
For the Cake
Combine the walnuts, cacao powder and salt in a food processor, until well mixed. Add the dates. Shape into two stackable cakes of desired shape and keep aside.
For the Frosting
Take the date paste in the food processor. Add the avocado and process until smooth. Add the cacao powder and process until smooth. You may need to add a small amount of water if the mixture is not smooth enough.
To serve, frost the top of one of the cakes with half the frosting. Stack the second cake on top and frost the top and the sides. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to firm up.
