This cake is so delicious and nutritious that it will make you want to live out the saying, "Life's uncertain, eat dessert first!" If it's hard for you to go without meat once a week, try this vegan chocolate beet cake for dinner. It's rich and flavorful, packed with goodness and totally makes you forget that meat exists. It's a dessert, by the way, but sometimes dessert is a great main! This chocolate beet cake is made with natural ingredients and sweetened naturally with dates and agave. The beetroot gives it a beautiful color and chocolate, a luxurious taste. With a nutty chocolate crust, a beet-cashew-carob filling, and an optional (but recommended) chocolate topping, this chocolate beet cake is irresistible.

How to Prepare Beet Cashew Cake [Vegan, Raw, Gluten-Free]
- Combine all crust ingredients in a blender until smooth. Sprinkle the carob/cacao powder in the base of one large springform pan and press down crust mixture. Freeze.
- Blend agave nectar and beets in blender until very smooth. Add cashew flour and blend again. Add remaining ingredients and process (do not overwork blender though). Pour mix over frozen base. Cover or seal cake on a flat surface for about 2 hours in the refrigerator or freezer until very firm.
- Process all topping ingredients until smooth. Pour over top of firm/frozen cake using a flat thick spatula to spread. Refreeze for 1-2 hours. It will be a thick topping. Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.

Has anyone made this cake yet? Can you describe the taste?
This is my issue with these highly entertaining and creative recipes…I would like to know what..at least approximately, I am getting into taste-wise.
I made the cake and it tastes lovely, I guess it\’s a bit like a carrot cake you don\’t actually taste the vegetable in the cake, the only problem I had with the cake was I cooked it for longer than I needed to and it was a bit dry, otherwise I\’d say yes give it a go.
What can you use instead of Carob powder?
