For the cake, add the walnuts, pecans, and dates to your food processor and give it a whirl until it is smooth add the salt, vanilla extract, and small amounts of raw cacao until all ingredients are processed into a smooth dough that forms into a ball. Use your hands to form into a cake like shape of your desire (hearts are cute for valentine's day or your sweetie's birthday).
For the frosting, put the avocado, dates, and maple syrup into the food processor and blend. Add small amounts of the raw cacao until it is blended smooth. Add water to get the desired consistency.
Spread the frosting on the cake and add raspberries, other fruits, or edible flowers to garnish.
Enjoy!
This looks wonderful! Thanks for posting :)
