I had some gorgeous apples leftover from making my Chocolate Apple Cake and all of these lovely apples leaves from my friend’s garden that were really calling for another recipe.

I have an ever-expanding list with recipe ideas that are waiting for me to come alive and here’s a Raw Apple Cake making it to your screen today, yay! The recipe is a variation of my Raw Carrot Cake, it’s a rich cake with walnuts, coconut and apples with a lovely subtle flavour that develops over time.

I have to say I wasn’t sure about the cake at first, the flavour is very gentle, but it has really grown on me and I found the cake tasting even better the next day. Recipes are so individual as are we, and there’s nothing that is for everyone, which only creates more variety and excitement in the world. And this apple cake is like that.

I’ve used apples in each of the layers in different ways. The crust is a mix of walnuts, desiccated coconut, medjool dates, grated apples and cinnamon. The top creamy layer is a blend of coconut butter and pureed apples topped with walnut date crumble. I’ve been pondering of a raw apple crumble instead of a cake and so I’ve used an element from a crumble in here. Enjoy & thank you for being you!
