It’s here: the no-bake cake of your dreams. It’s tender, it’s cakey, it’s naturally sweetened and warmly spiced, and it’s rich in beneficial fats and dietary fibre. The creamy cashew frosting is the icing on the cake, so to speak. For a grain-free option, you can replace wheat germ with coconut flour. Other garnish options include blueberries, cacao nibs, or even edible flowers.

When soaked and then blended with liquid, raw cashews make a multipurpose cream that is rather neutral tasting. This cream is useful for frostings, as well as both sweet and savoury cream sauces that you can flavour to your liking.
