Raw Cake: After Eight

The base

• 1 cup of almonds

• 1 cup shredded coconut

• 4 tablespoon raw cacao powder

• 6 dates (soaked – blend 6 dates with a bit of water and blend into a paste)

• pinch of Vanilla and salt

Blend everything together and mold into a cake tin.

The cream

• 1,5 cup almond milk (or coconut)

• 2 cups cashews (soaked)

• agava (add as you like)

• 1/2 cup of mint (fresh or dried)

• 2 teaspoons of lemon juice

• 4 teaspoons of barley grass (makes the cake greenish)

• pinch of vanilla and salt

• 6 dates (soaked – blend 6 dates with a bit of water and blend into a paste)

• 1 cup coconut oil

Blend everything together except the coconut oil! When blended into a smooth cream, add the coconut oil. Pour into the cake tin, but leave half of it for later!

• 5 tablespoons of raw cacao powder

• agava

Add the ingredients to the cream that you put aside and blend. Now pour the chocolaty cream on the mint cream, take a  small spoon and draw small lines, be creative. 😉 You will notice a beautiful mixture of green and brown.

Refrigerate over night.
