This raw cake is a great plant-based version of a classic. It contains no processed white sugar, dairy or preservatives but it contains lots of healthy fats from the avocado, coconut oil and almonds. Plus loads of antioxidants in the raw cacao and the dates are packed full of fibre. Dates have the most delicious natural caramel taste.
Following my last post, this is definitely a good recipe for anyone who is finding converting to a healthier diet a bit daunting. This cake almost tastes too good to be nutritious. It is a great one to make for skeptical friends and family members, just don’t tell them about the avocado before they eat it!
I have a real sweet tooth and luckily this cake helps fill that craving in a nutritious way.
