Vegan Raw Chocolate Raspberry Cake

I made this a while back, but have been dreaming about it for the last few weeks…I need to make it again SOON. And being the kind soul that I am, I’m sharing the deliciousness with you, so you can enjoy it too :P

Ingredients fot the base:

- 1 cup hazelnuts

- 1 cup almonds

- 1 1/2 cup dates 

- 1/2 cup raw cocoa

- 2 tbs coconut oil

- 2 tbs water

- seeds of 1 vanilla pod

Filling:

- 250g raspberries

Chocolate mousse:

- 2 cups dates

- 1 1/2 cup water

- 1/2 cup raw cocoa

- 1/2 cup coconut oil

Base:

Mix together hazelnuts and almonds in a blender until they are finely ground. Add the dates. Once they are all mixed together add the other ingredients and mix until they are all incorporated.

Filling:

Defrost your raspberries and roughly mash them with a fork. Add the appropriate amount of raw gelatine. Spread the raspberries on the base and put it in the fridge until it sets. 

Chocolate mousse:

Grind the dates untill they form a ball ot they are very finely chopped. Add the water and blend untill you get to a fine paste-like consistency. Add in the raw cocoa and coconut oil and continue to blend untill it is all finely incorporated.

Now spread the chocolate mousse on top of the cake and put it in the fridge to set - aproximately 30min

Decorate with coconut and fruit and viola

Bon Apetit
