Chocolate Rasberry Cake

(source here)

For the base

• 1/4 cup oat flour*
• 1/2 cup cashew flour**
• 2 tablespoons cacao powder
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Pinch salt
• 1 small pack of raspberries for the centre of the cake.

For the mousse

• 1 cup cashews
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup cacao powder
• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons tamari/shoyu
• Pinch salt

For the decoration (optional)

• 1/2 cup raspberries
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

*Oat flour is simply raw oats that have been turned to flour in a coffee grinder or Vita-Mix.

**Cashew flour is made by grinding cashews in a food processor until they turn to crumbs. You don’t need it as fine as the oat flour.

Method

- In a large bowl: mix all the base ingredients, thoroughly.

- Place a metal ring***, approximately 3″ (7cm) wide and at least 2″ (5cm) tall, on a dehydrator tray and non-stick dehydrator sheet. Dividing the mixture into 4, place one part into the bottom of the metal ring and spread evenly. Repeat this until you have 4 bases.

- Dehydrate at 115 degrees F, for 2 hours. At this point you should be able to transfer the bases to a dehydrator tray without the Paraflexx sheet; allowing them to dry for a further 8 hours.

- Blend all mousse ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth and set aside.

- Take your bases and place the metal ring back over one of them. I like to line the inside of the ring with non-stick paper; I find this aids in the removal of the ring at the end.

- Arrange some raspberries at the bottom of the ring, covering the whole of the base. You can then cover them with one quarter of the mousse.

- Repeat this with the other bases. This can be done using another 3 metal rings; or you can leave the cake you have just done in the freezer for a few minutes, by which time it will be firm enough to remove the metal ring.

- You can decorate the cakes however you like, but for the decoration in the picture I blended all the decoration ingredients, and used a spoon to drizzle that mixture onto a Paraflexx sheet. I then dehydrated it for 24 hours at 115 degrees F on the sheet, and a further 24 hours without, until crispy.

- Instead of doing that, to save time, you can just top with more raspberries and a dusting of cacao powder.

*** The metals rings I used can be bought from most cook shops in a variety of sizes.
