Yuzu raw cake

Recipes by vegang

This is such a healthy beautiful recipe which I made for my best friend’s mother’s birthday, he had requested a raw cake so I threw something together with what was in the house.

Here is step by step video:

This recipe is bursting with flavour and goodness, so many great superfoods used in this recipe:

Seamoss contains 92 of the 102 minerals your body needs

Hemp seeds are rich in protein, fibre, and healthful fatty acids, including omega-3s and omega-6s

Chia seeds contain an abundance of fibre and antioxidants as well as essential omega-3 fatty acids and plant-based protein

Medjool Dates are packed with complex carbohydrates and fibre, with more vitamins and minerals than many other fruits

FOR THE BASE:

I used what I had at home but you are free to use any nuts of your choice, I prefer Medjool as they are my favourite type of dates and work so well in baking but you can use other dates if you wanted to

In a food processor mix together:

  • A handful of both Almonds and Walnuts
  • 10 pitted Medjool Dates
  • 1 and 1/2 Cup Desiccated Coconut
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Butter
  • A handful of Hemp Seeds
  • A handful of Chia Seeds

Blend coarsly in food processor, once finished shape in to base in tin then place in fridge or freezer to set

FOR THE FILLING:

I was gifted these beautiful fresh Yuzus and Finger Limes from the amazing Wasabi Company check their website to see what great ingredients they stock https://www.thewasabicompany.co.uk/

The Natures Plus Ultra Juice Green Powder is what gives the cake its beautiful colour

Mix together these ingredients in blender

  • 2 Fresh Yuzu juiced
  • 2 cups Cashew Nuts (which have been soaked overnight)
  • few spoons of Sunita Cashew and sesame spread (can use any nut spread of choice)
  • Coconut Milk (chill can in fridge overnight)
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Butter
  • 1 scoop Natures Plus Ultra Juice Green Powder
  • 2 tbsp Seamoss
  • Handful Chia Seeds
  • Handful Desiccated Coconut

Blend thoroughly and pour on top of base and place in fridge or freezer to set, top with Citrus Caviar also called Finger Limes), Lime/Lemon Zest, Fresh Pomegranate and Coconut Chips.

Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did

Peace and Love Z x
