CARROT & ORANGE CAKE WITH CASHEW CREAM ICING
My DH is supplementing his diet with more raw foods and he asked me to make him a carrot cake with icing. I found this recipe on the Raw Chef site and tweaked it a little to suit my tastes. Its really good, and a little goes a long way as holds true with most raw foods. The reason raw food goes further then cooked IMHO is that the enzymes in the food are "alive", and because of this the ability for your body to process and digest them is better. You get the full nutritional benefit from the food when its raw. The satisfactory factor goes up when you eat raw. Please use organic where ever possible. NOTE: I didn't include the soaking time for the dates and the setting up time for the cake and icing in this recipe.

- FOR THE SPICE BLEND:.
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon.
- 1 teaspoons each ground cardamom and carraway.
- 1/4 teaspoons each nutmeg, ginger and cloves.

- ASSEMBLE THE CAKE:.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer slowly mix all the ingredients. Either shape into individual cakes or press into an 8x8" glass pyrex dish.
- Put into the fridge and let set up for at least 2 hours or *you can also dehydrate this by placing on a dehydrator sheet for 8-12 hours at 115'F.
- FOR THE FROSTING:.
- Blend all the ingredients in a high speed blender such as a Vita Mix, until smooth.
- Place the frosting in the fridge to thicken up, then ice your carrot cake. You can do this all at once of add a little to each piece. Its up to you.
- Garnish the cake with ground nutmeg.
- Bon Appetit!

GLUTEN- AND DAIRY-FREE ROASTED CASHEW CAKE
I was making dinner for my mom one day and I decided to whip up a dessert to accompany it. I didn't know what to do, so I just remembered the roasted cashew flour I had in the freezer and everything sort of clicked together. This cake is simple, yummy, healthy, and moist--everything you could want in a modest cake. You don't have to make roasted cashews if you're really short on time, but it does add a unique and subtle flavor.
