How to Prepare Raw Gingerbread Cake With Cashew Cream Cheese Frosting [Vegan]

  1. In a food processor, process almond until roughly chopped.
  2. Add walnuts, dates, raisins, salt, gingerbread spice, lemon zest, coconut sugar, and water.  Pulse until mixture just starts to ball up. This took me about 5 minutes of pulsing and scraping the processor down, pulsing and scraping the processor down, etc. If you over-process, too much oil will release and the mix will be too sticky. You want the nuts to still be visible- not a puree.
  3. When correct texture is reached, press into an 8 inch round pan. I used a parchment-lined springform for easy removal.
  4. In a high speed blender or food processor, blend all of the topping ingredients until smooth.
  5. Spread over nut mixture and garnish with lemon zest, and any other desired topping such as dried cranberries, cacao nibs, pomegranate seeds, etc.
