How to Prepare Raw Goji Maca Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. For the crust, place walnuts into food processor and process until fine crumb is achieved. Add the other ingredients and process until dough is sticky. Place the dough in a 9 inch springform pan and press down until even. Place the pan in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  2. For the filling, soak the cashews for 4-5 hours. Rinse and add all ingredients except for goji berries into a blender and blend until creamy. Once done, add the goji berries and mix well. Pour the mixture into the pan and freeze for 2 hours.
  3. For the glaze, add all ingredients except for cacao nibs to food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Spread glaze on top of cake evenly, then sprinkle goji berries and cacao nibs.
  4. For the chocolate drizzle, heat the coconut oil on low-med heat and add chocolate chips. Stir until melted. Let cool for 20 min, then drizzle on top of cake. Freeze cake completely (2-3 hours).
  5. Before eating the cake, take it out of the freezer and let sit in fridge for a couple of hours. Or for the fast track, take out of freezer and let sit on counter for about 30-40 min before slicing and eating.
