No Bake Strawberry Banana Cake

This was one of my first raw vegan cake recipes I have ever tried (13 years ago) and it became my favorite one, therefore I have been making it every Summer for its fresh, simple and yummy taste! 😉

Ingredients for cake shell:

1 cup dates, pitted

1 cup almonds, soaked overnight

4 cm vanilla pod, seeds OR 1 tsp vanilla extract

Ingredients for binder:

About 15 medium strawberries

2 bananas, ripe

6 dates, pitted

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Ingredients for fruit filling:

1-2 palms of fresh strawberries, cut into quarters

strawberries for decoration, optional

Method:

1. Soak the almonds in water for about 8-12 hours. Discard the water and rinse nuts with fresh water.
2. Grind the nuts in a food processor until finely chopped. Add dates, vanilla and blend well and press thinly into a cake/pie form to form the shell.
3. Now, let’s make a binder. Blend all ingredients for binder in food processor or blender until well mixed.
4. Now, put about 1-2 palms of strawberries into prepared cake shell and pour over the binder we made in step 3.
5. Leave it as it is or decorate with quartered strawberries. Cover and store in the fridge. Chill before serving. Enjoy! 😉

As always, organic ingredients are always recommended! 😉
