THE RECIPE HUNTERS IN CROATIA

"You don’t bake it...

No eggs, no sugar, no butter, no flour”  - Ela

"After learning about the raw diet, I decided to try a recipe and I was blown away by how you can create a dessert that is better for you and still LOVE the taste. I call it our healthy cake and people don’t feel as guilty ordering it." 

 

Ela’s recipe redefines “baking.” Comprised of oils and power foods with Omega fatty acid rather than flour, egg, and cream fats, this healthy cake that tastes better than most unhealthy ones! The ground nuts creates a dense and crumbly texture. The coconut pulls together the rich, savory flavors of almond and cashews and the result is pure and absolutely delicious.  

Ela's Healthy Cake Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Almonds

  • 3 Cups Cashews

  • 3 Tbsp Karob Powder (or chocolate powder)

  • .75 Cup Agave Syrup or Natural Maple Syrup (.5 cup for top layer)

  • 1.25 Cup Coconut Oil (1 cup for top layer)

  • .5 Cup Almond Milk (Coconut Milk/Soy Milk can be substitutes)

  • Pinch of Salt

  • Vanilla Bean

 

  1. Add the almonds, karob, 3 tablespoons of syrup, and 3 tablespoons of coconut oil in a food processor and mix on high speed.

  2. Process until the nuts are fully chopped and the oils are released from the nuts.

  3. In a circular baking pan without butter, pour in the mixture evenly and let cool in the fridge. This is your first layer of cake.

  4. Clean out the food processor and add the cashews, .5 cups syrup, 1 cup of coconut oil, almond milk, and salt.

  5. Cut open the vanilla pod and scrape the vanilla seeds into the food processor.

  6. Process until the nuts are finely chopped and the oils are released from the nuts.

  7. Remove the first almond layer of cake from the fridge and evenly spread the cashew paste on top of the almond layer. Smooth over the cashew layer with your pastry spatula, and “bake” by placing the cake in the baking pan into the freezer!

  8. To serve, let the cake thaw for 5 minutes and enjoy Ella's Healthy Cake, Made with Love.
