Today we present

Chocolate Layered Vanilla Kreme Gluten Free Vegan Cake

As you  all know we love our chocolate and have always wanted to do a layered dessert. We went back and forth for awhile on how we were going to do this because we did not have all the ‘proper’ kitchen tools to do what we really wanted. Therefore we had to be creative and come up with something similar. Of course wanted the recipe to be easy to make and raw We took one of our own favorite chocolate brownie recipes to be the base and the vanilla kreme part came to us as we got going! We hope you enjoy the recipe as much as we did

Pure2Raw Recipe: Chocolate Layered Vanilla Kreme Gluten Free Vegan Raw Cake

First- the chocolate cake layer (again we used a raw brownie mix to make it, though you could use any favorite recipe of yours or you can follow ours)

Brownie layer:

• 2 cups whole cashews (or any favorite nut of yours)
• 3/4 cup coconut flour (we just grinded it up coconut flakes – though you could use store bought coconut flour – and just be semi-raw)
• 2 tbsp vanilla
• pinch sea salt
• 1 1/2 cups cocoa
• 1/2 cup agave nectar

Directions:

Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend till combined.

Batter will be a little thick and sticky.

Divide brownie batter into two sections. One for the bottom layer and one for the 3 third layer.

Kreme Layer:

• 1 cup soaked cashews, over night
• 6 tbsp irish moss paste (this is optional it just helps with texture. If you do not have irish moss than do 1 1/2 cups cashews)
• 4 tbsp coconut butter
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 2 tsp lecthin (we use sunflower lecthin – again helps with texture) * you could try guar gum or xanthan gum
• 2 tbsp vanilla
• 1/4 water

Directions:

Place all ingredients into a blender and blend till smooth and creamy. Set aside in a bowl.

Assemble layered cake:

We used a bread loaf and lined with wax paper

Take half of brownie batter and place in bottom of pan.

*our loaf pan was a tad too big for the size and thickness of layers we wanted so we had to be real creative and figure out a way to keep the structure we were looking for, we used a glass mason jar to help with extra space in bread pan

Pour about half of kreme layer on top of brownie layer

* classy I know, see we told you we created this dish as we were going and still wanted to make sure it was somewhat easy to create!

Let this set in freezer for about 20 –30 minutes before placing next brownie layer on

Than just repeat the same layers once more! Than we topped with some cinnamon. Place layered cake back into freezer and let set before removing from pan.

Once layered cake has set one more time in freezer you may take out of pan *very carefully!

Having the wax paper helps with clean up and helps with getting cake out with ease!

Than you just remove the wax paper off the cake and you are done! You have yourself a delicious rich creamy gluten free vegan layered cake. A layered cake that requires no baking time and pretty easy to make. And raw too! Bonus!

We have a feeling you and your whole family will love this recipe. Thanks again for stopping by for another un-cooking class with the pure2raw twins
