Raw Carrot Cake Recipe

Cake Ingredients

• 1 cup walnuts or other nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans)
• 1 cup dried unsweetened coconut (organic)
• 1 cup dates, pitted
• ¾ cup raisins or other dried fruit (e.g., apricots, figs)
• ¼ cup flaxseed, ground fine in a coffee grinder
• 5 cups finely ground carrots (organic)
• 1 teaspoon coriander (optional)
• ½ teaspoon cardamom (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Nuts: Grind the nuts in a food processor until they reach a coarse meal consistency. Pour 2/3 of the ground nuts into a large mixing bowl.
2. Process the Dried Fruit: Add the dates and raisins (or other dried fruit) to the remaining nuts in the food processor. Grind until the mixture forms a sticky ball.
3. Combine Ingredients: In the large mixing bowl with the ground nuts, add the dried fruit mixture, ground flaxseed, dried coconut, finely ground carrots, coriander, and cardamom.
4. Mix and Knead: Mix all the ingredients by hand, kneading until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
5. Form the Cake: Press the mixture into a springform pan, smoothing out the top to ensure an even surface.
6. Set the Cake: Refrigerate the cake overnight to allow it to set properly.
7. Decorate and Serve: Remove the cake from the springform pan and apply your preferred frosting. Decorate with carrot slices, chia seeds, parsley, or any other toppings you like. Chill before serving.
