Here's how I made my raw vegan chocolate birthday cake:FOR THE BASE1 cup pecan nuts1 cup pitted dates (soaked for an hour if dry)A pinch of salt1 tbsp cacao powderProcess all that and put it in the bottom of your cake dish. Put it in the fridge while making the filling.FOR THE FILLING2 cups cashews soaked overnight or at least for 4 hours1/2 cup maple syrupA pinch of cinnamonA pinch of vanilla1/4 cup non dairy milk4 tbsp cacao powderProcess all that until creamy. Put it on the cake base and then in the freezer for an hourTOPPINGSWhatever you like really, I used strawberries, bananas and blueberries. After you decorate with the toppings, let in the freezer for at least another hour.Let it get at an edible temperature, don't be like me, don't eat it straight from the freezer!
