I love no-bake and raw recipes like this vegan raw carrot cake, because they are super easy to make. This is not the first raw cake recipe I've shared with you. Frozen cherry cake and blueberry cheesecake are similar to this raw carrot cake. If you prefer cherry or blueberry taste feel free to try them out.
How to make vegan raw carrot cake?
For this cake, you will need a food processor. Yes, I know. I use a food processor frequently in my recipes.
Soak the cashews. Don´t skip this step! Soaking will make the filling creamy. If you are short in time, use hot water for soaking to speed up the process.
I wrote that it takes 20 minutes to make the cake, but honestly, it doesn't even take 20 minutes. The whole cake-making process takes so little time, but waiting for the cake to firm takes forever. Well, it feels like forever, because who wants to wait? It is worth the wait though, I promise you.
First, make a crust by mixing walnuts and dates until the mixture gets a sticky texture. Then add shredded carrots, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Puls a few times, but make sure not to over-blend. And spread the mixture into a springform pan.
Second, add cashews, coconut milk, lemon juice, and agave syrup into a food processor and blend for a few minutes, until very creamy.
And finally, pour the cashew mixture on top of the crust and freeze.
