Who says you need to turn on the oven to make a beautiful cake? Pistachios, coconut butter, and coconut milk form the velvety base of this cake, which is then topped with sticky-sweet chia jam, and then finally a white chocolate-flavored coconut layer with delicate notes of rose water. Delicious!

How to Prepare Raw Pistachio Rose Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Grease the bottom and sides of a spring-form pan with coconut oil. Set aside.
  2. For the base, pulse nuts and salt in a food processor until ground. If you'd like some larger pistachio pieces, add the pistachios after a few pulses.
  3. Stir or pulse in melted coconut oil and maple syrup until incorporated. Pour into prepared pan and press into an even layer. Place in the freezer to set.
  4. For the raspberry layer, heat berries and lemon juice in a saucepan on the stove until the juices start to be released and the fruit can be easily mashed with a fork. If you'd like to skip heating the fruit, mash it at room temperature, or pulse in the food processor a few times. Stir in chia seeds. Pour the jam onto the chilled base and place in the freezer again while preparing the top layer.
  5. Place cocoa butter and coconut butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until melted. Whisk in remaining ingredients. Pour on top of the jam layer. Allow a few hours in the refrigerator for the cake to set. Serve at either refrigerator or room temperature.

  1. Hello! Wow, this recipe sounds absolutely beautiful and super tasty! What a stunning cake, looking at the ingredients this can only be good! I will make it today. I was just wondering if freezing would diminish the flavours a lot… I want to double the recipe and freeze the second cake. I’m curious about your thoughts on that. Thanks in advance. Love, Vicky

  2. You have great recipes but I don\’t see a \’print option\’ so I had to copy and paste the ingredients to wordpad. I did print out another recipe and it printed out TEN pages because it included adds, etc. Additionally, I couldn\’t pin this recipe. Should make things easier for people, or why bother. Too may other great vegan sites that have easier navigation and a \’print\’ option that just prints photo and recipe. Thank you though for the two recipes that I did manage to print. I appreciate it.
