Easy, Easy, Raw Chocolate Cake Recipe

I made a delicious chocolate cake on Valentine’s Day. From scratch. It had only five ingredients (walnuts, cocoa powder, dates, vanilla extract, and sea salt). And it took me only 10 minutes to make from start to finish – with the help of my food processor. That it was gluten-free, dairy-free, and raw was just a bonus.

And not only is the recipe easy, it is fun. After you mix everything in the food processor, you take the clump of “dough” and shape it, like a sand castle, into any shape you like. Given that it was Valentine’s Day, I patted my chocolate cake into a (very original) heart-shape. Served it with sliced strawberries. It was yummy. As a matter of fact, I am enjoying a slice of it this morning as I write this.

There are lots of similar raw chocolate cake recipes available at the end of a Google search, but I like this video because it shows you how easy it really is…
