This cake is so rich and delicious. Make sure you have a few people to share it with, you won’t be able to finish it on your own (although I could, but I won’t). It is so insanely delicious, it is like a combination of cheesecake and fudge, it’s blissful. I think I need to remove it from my house right now, otherwise my hips may be yelling at me in a few days.
Crust Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup carob powder
- 1/2 cup ground almonds
- 1/4 cup coconut butter, melted (I used Artisana)
- 1/3 cup agave
Mix all ingredients until it is doughy. Press into a round cake pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment. A springfoam pan works best, making it easy to pop out the cake once it is ready. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Filling ingredients
- 2 cups cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup agave

- 1 tablespoon Lucuma powder
Fruit of your choosing (I used strawberries)
Combine ingredients until smooth and creamy. Pour onto crust, add fruit on top, and return to refrigerator.

The cake is ready once firm.
I’ve been looking for a raw chocolate Christmas cake that will look & taste fantastic & impress some non-vegetarians (AKA my family). I think I’ve just found it! Just a small question though, is there an alternative that I could use instead of Lucuma powder? So happy to have come across this!
