looking for raw cokolate cake recipe

[Garnele]

Hi, I`m looking for a really great and tried recipe
on chokolate raw cake, to share with some sceptical
friends.

I don`t have access to a dehydrator and
don`t know where to get ingredients like raw honey and agave:/

[samadhisoul]

maydolphin has a recipe for brownies--just do a quick search (that's actually the title of the thread)
they turn out great and are sliceable.
oh, they do use a dehydrator BUT, are u able to use your oven with the door cracked?

[Garnele]

Thank you, for answering!

Well, that`s the snag, because I don`t have a oven, at all:(
I live in a student room, and if I need to use the common
kitchen I can not do that for several hours:/

Hi JustMe,
thanks a lot. I think i will make this one,
it sound simple enough:)

I hope it`s tasty,
have you tried it for yourself?

[JustMe]

sophia,

You're welcome! No i haven't tried it myself, but i have heard from others on here that it is really good. That is next on the list of decadent, gourmet desserts to make! LOL Do tell of your results though! :D

[JustMe]

BUMP....

OKAY! I finally made it and it is JUST as Alissa describes it--satisfyingly dense, but not overly sweet! It's really good. I made half the recipe because I will probably be the only one eating it, and since it is dense, you only need a small serving and it will probably last a week.

Okay, I'm glad you found one, I have a great chocolate cake recipe, no agave' no honey, but it does use carrott pulp and cacao, anyway, I'm glad you have this great recipe.

Hi! Ì tried alissas chokolate cake recipe today,
but it unfortunately didn`t end up so great...
mostly beacuse both the frosting and the cake where
so lumpy. Maybe I should have soaked the nuts longer...?

Or it`s just my food processor that is`nt efficient enough:/

Okay, here is my chocolate cake recipe, I get raves everytime I serve this at an event


Raw Priestess' Chocolate Cake

Special Equipment: food processor

2 cups almond meal (left over from making almond milk)
3 1/2 cups carrot pulp (left over from making carrot juice)
3/4 cup tahini
1 1/2 cup carob powder (or cacao powder if you like)
1 1/2 cup fresh young coconut meat (shreaded)
1 cup medjool dates (pitted & soaked)
1/2 cup hazelnut oil
1 T vanilla extract or 1 whole vanilla bean (scraped)
dash of Celtic sea salt

Blend almond meal, carrot pulp and carob powder in food processor until well blended, add tahini and coconut meat, continue blending. Divide into sections, and blend in the remaining ingredients, continue to mix toether until all is mixed well, this may take quite a few times in your food processor.

Divide the cake mixture in half.

take 1/2 of the mixture, and form into a round bottom layer of cake, you can form in a springform pan if you like, if you wish to make a really tall cake, put this bottom layer in the freezer until firm.

Fruit center:

1 cup raspberries
1 cup dark raisins

Blend raspberries and raisins in a food processor until chunky, but blended. (if you let this sit an hour or so before eating, it really gets thick and gooey.) then spread on top of bottom cake layer.

Put the second layer of the cake on top of the fruit mixtur, and form into a cake. if you wish the cake to be tall, place this into freezer to keep firm.

Frosting:
3 cups young coconut meat (not dry)
1 cup medjool dates (soaked and pitted)
1/2 cup carob powder (or cacao powder)
2 T oarange juice, or date soak water

blend all frosting ingdients in a food processor until smooth, or if you want it really smooth, blend in a High speed blender, like a Vita Mix.

Spread frosting on cake.

tips, if you wish to make a tall cake, then freeze the bottom, and then add the fruit section, and refreeze, then add the top section, this way you can keep it tall.

if you want a flat cake, with only one layer, you can omit the fruit layer, or use it to drizzle on top it is up to you.

But this is a decadant chocolate cake, yummy
