Pecan and macademia cake - no baking

This is a raw food recipe that is without the addition of flour, sugar, milk and eggs. No cooking, strictly vegan, the only sugar there comes from fruit. Very testy, but beware - it is quite caloric because of the large number of nuts and fresh dates.




Ingredients for the filling:
  • 1 cup pecan - they have to be pre-soaked for several hours
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup agave syrup
  • 1 1/2 cup of fresh dates
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper


How to make the filling:

  • Chop the nuts in a food processor.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the chopped peanuts and mix everything until you get thick paste.

Ingredients for the crust:
  • 2 1/2 cups macadamia nuts
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation:
  • Blend the ingredients untill fine.

Putting it all together:
  • Form the crust by spreading makademia blend evenly in the mold.
  • Put the pecan mass on it.
  • Decorate the cake with whole pekans and cranberries.
  • Prior to serving chill it in the refrigerator for several hours (e.g. overnight).
