Ingredients
Units
Scale
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered walnuts (I managed to get powdered walnuts, but you can use chopped or whole)
- 2 1/4 cups diced dates (I managed to get diced dates but you can use whole)
Cake:
- 3 cups raw unsalted cashews
- 3 tablespoons cacao powder
- 1 cup water
- Juice from 2 lemons
- 1 1/2 cups diced dates
- 187.5 ml coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
To make the crust:
- Pulse walnuts into powder (if you use whole walnuts) in a food processor
- Add the pitted dates and keep processing until it all starts to stick together.
To make the cake:
- Blend all the cake ingredients until smooth, thick, and creamy.
- It should be the consistency of yogurt. (Here I adapted the original recipe and only used 1 cup of water instead of 1½ cups as suggested)
- If it’s watery, add more dates, coconut oil, or nuts, or if too thick, add extra water or maple syrup. (Mine came out perfect and I did not have to fix the consistency).
- Spoon out onto the cold crust and leave overnight in the fridge, in order for it to set and develop in flavor.
- Decorate as you wish
- I used vegan chocolate shavings, slivered almonds, shredded coconut, and salted pumpkin nuts.
- Only for displaying I added some pumpkin candy, but as it’s not vegan, I did not serve it as such.
- Line a 9” spring form cake with parchment paper, and press the mixture down with the palm of your hand into the bottom of the cake pan.
- Leave it in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
