How to Prepare Raw Zucchini Carrot Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Cake:

In a food processor, grind the oats, flax seeds and shredded coconut to flour. Add the dates, figs, and orange zest and process until the mixture starts sticking together.
In a large bowl, mix together grated carrots and zucchini. Add the mixture of flours and dried fruits and stir well. Form into a small loaf. Dehydrate at 140°F for 1 hour. Decrease heat to 105°F and continue to dehydrate about 3 hours.

To Make the Frosting:

Rinse the soaked cashews well. Place the cashews, coconut oil, lemon and orange juice, coconut nectar, vanilla, and lucuma powder in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
The cake does need to be cooled completely before frosting. Cover the cake with a thin layer of frosting. Place the cake in the refrigerator so the icing can set, about 30 minutes. Decorate and serve.
