VEGAN CAKE
No added sugar. No baking. My type of cake. :)
As it usually happens with my recipes, I can never take a decent photo before it's eaten. Same with this cake - it's fast to make, but it disappears fast, too. You will need:
1. Nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, whatever you like). I used a mix of cashews and almonds. Grind them in a food processor.

2. Dates. Or dates and raisins. Also in the food processor.
3. (optional) Cocoa powder.
4. Instant coconut milk powder. One package mixed with 100 ml warm water.

5. Fresh fruit of your choice. I have made this with strawberries and blueberries, as well as with figs/blueberries combo.
To make it yourself:
Combine your nuts, dates and cocoa powder in the food processor, until you have a sticky mixture. If it is not sticky enough, add dates. If your dates are too dry, you can add a teaspoon of avocado oil.

How much? Enough to cover your pan with decent layer (ok, more like cheesecake crust-thin layer)
Cut your fruit and put on top.
Cover with the coconut cream prepared from the powder+warm water.
Let sit in the fridge for a few hours. If your bottom layer is thick, it will be even better the next day. Cut and enjoy responsibly!
