Raw-ish Chocolate Cake with Avocado Mint Frosting!

Dinner tonight was red lettuce and some of the greens from my little garden, sauerkraut and salad made from cukes, avo and orange bell pepper, dressed with finely chopped garlic, a pinch of salt and lime juice. On the side is a stuffed bell pepper, just regular bread stuffing with carrots, celery, onion, potato and zukes. I also stuffed an acorn squash with the same mixture and fed that to the guys.
















Inside my stuffed pepper


















Ok, I made a raw-ish chocolate cake

first I made a chocolate cake














1 sm banana
5 dates
1/2 zucchini, peeled
1 1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup baking chocolate (unsweetened)
2 tbs ACV
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup water

Process in FP with S-blade until almost the texture of mousse. Spread on a sheet, about 1/2" thick in a square or rectangle shape. Make the edges as straight as you can but don't obsess over it, you can trim the cake later.

Let freeze for 2 hours or so. In the mean time make frosting

2 avocados
2 bananas
1/2 cup mint
5 dates
1/4 tsp salt

Process until very smooth















Take the still frozen cake out of the freezer and trim the rough edges so they are straight then cut into approx 2" square pieces. Put the frosting on half of the pieces and stack the rest of the pieces on top of the frosted pieces. Frost the tops of all the cakes and freeze for another hour or more.
















Slice, arrange artfully on plate and serve frozen















The boy will eat almost any bread I make but he won't eat a vegetable. Once we saw a documentary about hiding veges in food for kids. He said I should do that so today I made my regular soda bread but instead of using oat milk, I blended a peeled zucchini with water and used that as the milk. He loved it and he ate zucchini without even knowing it.

Success.
