Raw pumpkin cake

Makes about 1 big cake

Ingredients for the first layer:

  •  1 cup almonds, soaked and dried (or mix ½ cup sunflower seeds and ½ cup almonds to make it more affordable)
  • 2 cups grated coconut
  • A pinch of salt
  • Zest of 4 lemons
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 6 tbsp rice syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder (or 1 vanilla pod)

Preparation:

  1. Make a flour from the almonds in a food processor. Then put it in a bowl. Do the same with the grated coconut, to make a more fine flour.
  2. Mix together in a large bowl with all the other ingredients until you get a sticky dough. The dough should be really sticky otherwise the cake will crumble. From this dough you could already make delicious raw cookies!
  3. Divide the mixture over your two lined baking tins. Press well until you get a nice base for your cake. Place in the freezer while you prepare the other layers.
