How to Prepare Chocolate Beet Cake With Raspberry Frosting [Vegan, Raw, Gluten-Free]

  1. Process brazil nuts until they form a fine powder (do not over process or they will form a nut butter!)
  2. Add all of the other ingredients and process until smooth and the mixture comes together easily. You may need to do this in batches if your food processor is small. If you find the mix too dry, add some almond milk or orange juice to moisten slightly.
  3. Press the mixture into a spring form cake tin and refrigerate while you make the icing.
Icing:
  1. Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth and creamy.
  2. Spread the icing over the cake and decorate with coconut and pistachios.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes prior to serving to allow the frosting to set.

    1. It looks kind of like honey. Coconut Nectar is produced from coconut palm blossoms and is a great tasting, low GI alternative for people with fructose sensitivities.
