Healthy Chocolate-Orange Cake with a hint of Cardamom

This is very good and healthy cake. It is non-sugar, non-gluten and non-dairy. And you also don't need to bake it. 
If you care of your health and you like sweets, this is a very good alternative that you must try.


Ingredients:

Cake:


  • 2 cups walnuts
  • 150g raisins
  • 1 cup dates
  • 1/4 cup of hot water
  • 4 tablespoons raw cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder
  • a pinch of Himalayan salt 
  • freshly squeezed orange juice from 1/2 orange
  • 1 teaspoon of orange zest

Chocolate Glaze:

  • 2 tbsp of coconut oil
  • 30g of dark chocolate (80% of cocoa)

Instructions:

Crush walnuts in a food processor. 
Pour over raisins and dates with hot water.
Combine all ingredients together.
Line the baking sheet (size: 20x20 cm) with kitchen foil (which will make easier to remove the cake), and then fill it with the prepared mixture, carefully smoothing its surface.
Put the cake into the freezer for at least one hour. When it is sufficiently firm prepare chocolate glaze. For this purpose melt coconut oil and add chopped dark chocolate. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the chocolate glaze on the cake and carefully spread across its surface.
Put the cake into the freezer for 15 minutes.
After this time, remove the cake from the baking sheet and cut it into pieces. You can decorate with orange and almond flour.

Enjoy!
