This is the cake that I made today for my son.

This recipe will give you one medium sized cake (4-6 servings).

Ingredients for the crust:

• 1/2 cup of Brazil nuts
• 1/2 cup grated coconut
• some fresh dates
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon cocoa
• 2 tablespoons agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method of preparation:

• In a food processor, grind the ingredients thoroughly.

Ingredients for the top:

• 2 cups cashews - they have to be pre-soaked for at least 4 hours
• 1/4 cup agave syrup
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup of water
• 1/4 cup chocolate butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• large handful of strawberries

Method of preparation:

• All the ingredients - EXCEPT FOR STRAWBERRIES - blend untill smooth.
• Transfer the mass to a bowl, add the chopped strawberries and mix gently.

Putting it all together:

• Grease the mold with coconut fat and form the crust.
• Cover the crust with the chocolate - strawberry paste (the top).
• Decorate it with whole strawberries (you can also add blueberries).
• Cool the cake in a refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
