Ingredients:

    Cake

  • 500g Medjool Dates (pitted)
    65g Cacao Powder
    700g Almond Butter
    600ml Oat Milk

    • Frosting

  • 2 ripe Avocados
    10 tbsp Maple Syrup
    8 tbsp Cacao Powder
    6 tbsp Almond Butter
    2 tbsp softened Coconut Oil

Method

  • Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius and grease two 18cm cake tins with coconut oil.

  • Blend all of the cake ingredients a food processor until well mixed.

  • Divide the mixture between the two cake tins and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. You want the cakes to be firm along the sides, but bouncy in the middle.

  • Whilst the cake is baking, make the frosting by adding the ingredients to a food processor until well mixed.

  • To assemble the cake, spread half of the frosting onto one of the cakes and then place the other cake on top, finishing with the remaining frosting.

  • Top with your choice of berries - blueberries, strawberries and raspberries all work well.
