Raw&vegan pineapple coconut cake

Hey, there! Are you one of those people who love love love everything sweet? But you’re also passionate about eating as healthy as possible? Well then, this is a post for you!! Yup, it’a a cake! And it’s healthy! Raw and vegan too! Ah-mazing!


But, seriously you need to try this :) it’s one of the easiest cakes I’ve ever made and it tastes divine!
So, I went to a friends house last night, just a simple girls night with a couple of cups of mulled wine (yaay it’s that time of year! :)) and of course we had to make a cake.
My friend Tina is also a health nut, like me, and also loves to cook. She’s made this cake a couple of time before and loved it. So i had to try it, right? I mean, it’s not like I had a choice… ;)
Anyyyywaaaay….this is her recipe. So I take no credit, but this cake is so easy to make, so healthy and sooo delicious, that I had to share it with you!
Here’s what you’ll need:
  • 1 pineapple or 1 can, if you’re using canned
  • coconut oil 
  • 1.5 cup coconut flour
  • 1.5 cup ground almonds
  • 2 cups dates
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
And here’s how:
  1. Put the dates in a blender with 1 cup water and 1tsp cinnamon and blend
  2. Cover the bottom of the baking tin with baking paper, to make sure you can later remove the cake from the tin nicely
  3. Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the paper, making sure you cover as much as possible
  4. Pour in about 3/4 of the date mixture and put the pan in the fridge
  5. In a bowl, mix together the coconut flour and ground almonds and add the remaining 1/4 of the date mixture. Mix thoroughly. If you feel like the mixture isn’t moist enough, add a tsp of coconut oil.
  6. Spread the mixture on top of the dates in the pan and it down as hard you can, to make sure everything comes together nicely
  7. Put the tin in the fridge for at lest an hour- more is better
  8. Turn it over on a serving plate, so the pineapples are on top and you’re ready to serve
Yuuuuum
