For You: Our Favorite Guilt-Free Truffle Cake Recipe To Celebrate 2021!

We are grateful that we got to take a few days off and are now ready to bake again. A new year and a new beginning! Like many of you we will seize the opportunity to make some changes. We hope for more quality time with family and friends, for healthy eating habits, time to work out and more sleep. And healthy for us equals delicious, not just with respect to our own baked goods, but also when it comes to other recipes. We are excited to share the below mouthwatering raw truffle cake recipe with you. We have tweaked a recipe from the Swedish baking book "Smarta Sötsaker" (Smart Sweets - without sugar, gluten and dairy)). So easy to make, so yummy and yet so healthy. A great cake to start 2021 with!

Raw Truffle Cake
Be prepared for this reaction: "What?! No butter, no cream, no sugar? How?". And did you know that Brazil nuts are full of magnesium? A relaxing mineral. So let's chill in the new year!

Ingredients
For the base:
2 cups pitted dates
2 tbl coconut oil
0.5 cups cocoa powder
0.5 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla powder
pinch of salt

For the filling:
1 cup brazil nuts
2/3 cups coconut oil
3/4 cups cocoa powder
4 tbs honey, agave syrup or maple syrup (use more until the filling is sweet to your liking)
pinch of salt

Instructions
1. Start with making the base
Use a food processor to mix all ingredients into a smooth dough/paste. Use your fingers to press the paste into a springform cake pan.

2. Make the filling
Mix all the ingredients to the filling in a food processor until you have a smooth, brown cream. Taste to see that it's sweet to your liking, or add some more sweetner. Pour the cream into the form on top of the base paste. Place in freezer for about an hour.

3. Serve
Take out the cake 15-20 minutes before serving. Decorate with chopped brazil nuts or with raspberries. Serve as is or with some whipped cream or ice cream.

Enjoy!
