Pics of raw vegan chocolate cake I made! RECIPE, MORE PICS & VARIATION ADDED!
It was SO good - very dense and fudgey, just the way I like chocolate cakes. Even DH liked it, and he is a bit :ex about the whole raw thing.
It was made from walnuts, dates, maple syrup, vanilla essence and coco powder. The "butter cream" frosting was made from dates, maple syrup, vanilla essence and avocado. |

Re: Pics of the raw vegan chocolate cake I made last night!
post a recipe? PLEASE? I've been craving some good, raw chocolate, but I'm a little scaredof wasting a lot of dates/nuts to try something & find out it's gross.

Re: Pics of the raw vegan chocolate cake I made last night!
That look delicious! Wow, I can't believe there is avocado in the frosting! I would be nervous eating that...only because I'm weird though.

Re: Pics of the raw vegan chocolate cake I made last night!

Re: Pics of the raw vegan chocolate cake I made last night!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to take so long with the recipe.
Ingredients for Cake 1 1/2 cups of raw walnuts, unsoaked (I have also made this with pecans, but it is definitely better with walnuts! ) A dash of salt 10 pitted medjool dates, unsoaked 1/3 cup of cocoa or carob powder 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (if you don't have any don't worry, its optional) 2 teaspoons of water Method Put the walnuts and salt into a food processor and process until the nuts are finely ground. Put in the dates, cocoa / carob powder and vanilla and process until the mixture starts to stick together. Add the water and process for a few more seconds. Lightly spray a cereal bowl (or similar) with olive oil spray. Get the mixture and press it firmly into the bowl - I used a glass bowl which was good because I could see where there were "pockets" that needed to be pressed in more. Chill for two or more hours, then turn upside down onto a serving dish or plate. You can eat it as is or add Chocolate Buttercream Frosting and strawberries for garnish. Ingredients for Chocolate Buttercream Frosting 1/4 cup of pitted medjool dates, soaked 1/4 cup of maple syrup or agave nectar 1/2 tespoon of vanilla extract (again, this is optional) 1 1/2 mashed, ripe avocados 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons cocoa or carob powder Method Toss it all in your food processor and process until creamy. One variation is to roll the dough into little balls to make truffles. I rolled these in shredded coconut and stuck them in the freezer. They were delicious, but they really need to be served chilled. They are not so nice at room temperature. |

Re: Pics of raw vegan chocolate cake I made! RECIPE, MORE PICS & VARIATION ADDED
I am so excited....i think I actually have all the ingredients on hand. I normally don't have avocados all the time but I had planned on making sushi tomorrow but DH asked to go out on a DATE.....as he now has the night off. So I have 3 ripe avocados just WAITING to be used. He LOVES chocolate (Shhhh....don't tell him about the avocado)
