A rich option for all the sweet-teeth out there who find it difficult to control themselves. This cake tastes like it contains a decent amount of butter, sugar, and cream. Believing that it consists of none of those, and, to top that, has never been baked, is truly challenging.
Preparing is quite easy – we did in between more involved projects, just to have an accompaniment to our tea break. The ace recipe is Ani Phyo’s.
Raw Raspberry Chocolate Ganache
Fudge:
3 cups walnuts
2/3 cup raw cacao powder
1 cup pitted Medjool dates
Begin by blending all the ingredients in a food processor. Form the combined mass into two equally sized patties.
You will need about 1/2 cup of raspberries to tightly cover the first, bottom patty.
After covering, place the second patty on top of the raspberry layer.
Frosting:
1/3 cup Medjool dates
1/4 cup raw agave syrup
1 ripe medium sized avocado
1/3 cup raw cacao powder
Process all the ingredients. Using a spoon, carefully coat the whole cake with the frosting.
Garnish with raspberries. Best served after a bit of refrigeration.
When it comes to dessert, this one is actually quite healthy – just consider the ingredients. Enjoy!

Go;Golubka; I have tasted that chocolate Ganache and it does melt in your mouth.
Can I come over for some tea and see?Please make it. Package it and sell it! or better yet convince some traditional bakeries they need an alternative.
Love, Lisa -

Robyn,
Thanks so much for your sweet comments and wishes. Isn’t this recipe the best? Your blog and photos are beautiful. Jake looks like he is enjoying himself very much :) -
Love the frosting – you can’t really taste the avocado…I say it can compete with any fancy butter cream frosting that packs a 1000 calories/bite.
As for the “meat” of the cake – I am not too crazy. Too rich…I live and breathe organic/healthy/vegetarian but this is a bit too much :). I say, the frosting will be perfect for a healthy yogurt and spelt flour based cake.
Thanks for this great recipe! -
Tanya,
Thank you for your comment. You really can’t taste the avocado, it just adds irresistible creaminess. The ganache is very rich and one thin slice will satisfy most. At least that way there will be enough for everyone. The icing itself makes for an excellent chocolate mousse, pretty healthy and quick in preparation. -
