Chocolate is amazing and it has many benefits for our health: it is a great source of antioxidants, it has iron, magnesium, it has cardiovascular benefits, and even more amazing properties. Raw chocolate and mostly dark chocolate are the best. Of course we should not forget the wonderful and amazing cacao butter which is basically one of the most important ingredients when it comes to making chocolate and cacao butter is also great for health, it can be used for skin as a moisturizer or even in the summer for a healthy tan. Cacao butter tastes delicious and it is a wonderful ingredient to add to our beautiful raw vegan delights.

One amazing way to savor all those awesome benefits of cacao products is of course making a delicious raw vegan cake. This one is a crunchy banana and chocolate cake and it tastes absolutely amazing.

To make this beautiful cake we need the following ingredients:

Crust

2-3 tbs cacao powder

2-3 tbs cacao butter and coconut oil

1/2 cup coconut flakes

1 cup hazelnuts

1/2 cup dates.

We use a food processor to mix those ingredients until we have a sticky and thick consistency and then we spread it on the bottom of a cake form.

Next step is making the cream filling layers. First we have the banana layer:

3-4 ripe bananas

1/2 cup dates

3-4 tbs coconut oil

vanilla extract

1/2 cup to 1 cup of hazelnut milk.

We use a blender to mix those ingredients until we have a smooth and creamy consistency. We pour half of this on top of our crust and we blend the other half  with 3-4 tbs cacao powder and then combine the two delicious banana and chocolate layers.

Finally we spread some banana chips on top (dehydrated banana slices, sweetened with some agave nectar and chopped into small pieces), some cacao powder and some chopped hazelnuts.

Now we put it in the freezer for a few hours.

When it is ready we can take it out of the freezer and enjoy a delicious slice of it with our lovely friends and family members. It is really easy to make healthy and delicious goodies and share them with your loved ones. Just have fun making healthy choices as amazing and beautiful as possible.
