A few days ago it was my aunt’s birthday and she really really loves raw chocolate!
I decided to make her a raw chocolate birthday cake, though I haven’t made one before. I browsed online to see some raw cakes and then I came up with a coconut/oat/date/cacao powder cake that I frosted with a chocolate ganache made with cashews, raw chocolate, coconut oil and agave nectar. I topped the cake with cacao nibs and some molded raw chocolates! It looked very pretty and it was delicious!
Lately I’m being lazy when I cook and I don’t measure anything-i’m sorry for the lack of recipes. I can list the ingredients and method though :
Cake base : Oats, date paste [ dates, water] dried coconut shavings, cacao powder
Mix ingredients to form a dough, shape and chill.
Frosting : cacao paste, coconut oil, agave syrup, vanilla extract, cashew cream [water, cashews]
Melt cacao paste with coconut oil in double boiler and mix in agave, vanilla and cashew cream, let chill for 20 min.
Molded chocolates : cacao paste, coconut oil, agave syrup, vanilla extract
Melt cacao paste with coconut oil, combine with the rest of the ingredients and pour in chocolate molds. Chill until set.
Frost chilled base with a spatula, top with molded chocolates and sprinkle with cacao nibs. Chill until ready to serve.
The birthday girl also recommends freezing the cake leftovers for fabulous raw ice cream cake! 
Wow…. I’ve never had a raw cake before, but I would certainly slice myself a giant piece to try- It looks incredible!
That’s truly stunning–my mouth is watering! Is there any chance you’ll share the recipe–?? (Please??)
I would totally share the recipe but when I was making it I didn’t measure anything! I wrote all the ingredients I used on the post if that helps! I could also tell you the method if you want!
O.My.Gosh.Stunning!
Goodness! What a beautiful, rich, sinful-looking cake that is actually SO healthy! I would eat this for breakfast if I could!

I have been browsing recipes for making raw cake too! I’m hoping to make one for my boyfriends 30th Birthday. I have just got involved in raw chocolate moulds which have looked and tasted yummy, but not yet attempted a cake yet so this would definetly be something to look forward to.
