Raw food cake - a simple recipe
A very simple version of a delicious cake. In this recipe we will prepare a very tasty raw cream for the cake, which you can then use in any other recipes.
For the crust:
- 300 grams of almonds. Can be replaced with any other nuts of your choice.
- 2 tablespoons of honey. This amount will be enough and the cake will not be too cloying.
- 6 dates. We take out the bone.
- 2 tablespoons carob. This chocolate powder can be purchased at any vegan store.
Now grind the nuts and dates in a blender. Add the remaining ingredients to the resulting mass and get the dough for the cakes. It needs to be divided into two parts, since we will have two cake layers.
For cream:
- 150 grams of dates. We take out the bones. Soak them in warm water for one hour. During this time they will swell and will be easier to beat.
- 2 ripe bananas.
Beat dates and bananas in a blender and get a gorgeous cream.
Place one part of the dough in the mold and grease it with cream, then put the second part of the dough and grease it too. Place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

Raw food jam
Yulia: To get raw food jam, you need to grind dried fruits in a blender, previously soaked in warm water (dried apricots are best, because it is not very sweet, you need to soak them until they become completely soft) with a small amount of water.
Tatyana: How much water should I take?
Julia: The less water you take, the thicker the jam you will get. I like it when the consistency is like real jam, so it’s better to add water a little at a time and see how it turns out.
You can add a little honey (to taste), but it tastes good to me as is, and with honey it turns out too sweet.
In this way I prepare raw apricot jam from dried apricots, plum jam from dried prunes and fig jam from dried figs. It also works well from a mixture of figs and prunes.

Tatyana: Isn’t it possible to make raw food jam from dried fruits?
Julia: Of course! In the same way (by chopping any berries, or even better, mixtures of berries with honey) I prepare strawberry jam, currant jam and others.
It turns out very tasty if you grind the lemon along with the zest in a meat grinder (it won’t work in a blender) and then mix it with honey. This is my favorite - it's so sweet and sour, not cloying. And how many vitamins...
You can pour honey over berries directly on a branch (viburnum, rowan, currants, etc.) - it turns out not only tasty, but also very beautiful.
You can optionally add herbs and nuts to honey (linden, mint, thyme, any nuts), but after experimenting, I came to the conclusion that it is very tasty even without any herbs.
