This Raw Vegan Neapolitan Cake is really great. A perfect chocolaty crust, chocolaty smooth layer, strawberry and vanilla layers follow after. and topped with some cocoa nibs which bring a nice texture and taste to the final cake. You don't have to follow a raw or vegan diet, paleo or gluten free to enjoy this cake, this Neapolitan cake is simply a decadent, delightful dessert that everybody is going to love. Ingredients: Makes one 6 inch round cake, about 8-10 servings Crust 1 cup ground almonds 1/2 cup dates, pitted 1/4 cup cocoa powder 1 tbsp coconut oil Filling - Vanilla base 1 1/2 cups (240g) raw cashews, soaked in water 4-6 hours then drained 1/2 cup liquid sweetener of your choice (maple syrup, agave nectar, raw honey if not vegan) 5 tbsp lemon juice (juice of 1 large lemon) 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract pinch of salt Additional Ingredients for Chocolate Layer 1/4 cup cocoa powder 1 tbsp liquid sweetener of your choice 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted Additional Ingredients for Strawberry Layer 1 cup frozen strawberries Directions 1. Prepare the crust: Place dates, ground almonds, cocoa powder in the bowl of a food processor and blend until crumbs form. Add coconut oil and process some more until the mixture is well combined and stick together when squeezed between your fingers. 2. Press well the crust mixture into the bottom of a 6 inch springform pan using your fingers or the back of a tablespoon or even the bottom of a glass. Set aside while you prepare the filling. 3. Prepare the vanilla base: Add all ingredients for vanilla base, presoaked cashews, lemon juice, liquid sweetener, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract and salt into the bowl of a blender and process until creamy and smooth. 4. Remove one third of the mixture into a bowl for the vanilla layer, and another third of the mixture for the strawberry layer, in another bowl. 5. Add the additional ingredients for the chocolate layer over the remained cashew mixture into the blender and process until smooth and creamy. Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the crust using a rubber spatula to spread it out. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to set before adding the next layer. 6. Meanwhile rinse the blender and prepare the strawberry layer. Add the vanilla base mixture from one of the bowls that were set aside into the blender, add frozen strawberries and blend until smooth and creamy. Remove the pan from the freezer and gently pour the strawberry layer evenly over the chocolate layer. Freeze for another 15 minutes or until set before adding the next layer. 7. Remove the pan from the freezer and gently pour the remaining third of vanilla base from the bowl that was set aside over the strawberry layer. Smooth out evenly again using a rubber spatula. layer. Place in the freezer to firm up for 15 minutes while you prepare the chocolate glaze if desired. If not just let it freeze for at least 2 or 3 hours. I let it overnight. 8. If you want to decorate the cake with some chocolate start preparing the chocolate topping by combining the ingredients into a bowl. Cut the corner of a small plastic bag making a 1/8 inch or even smaller hole, and place the mixture into the bag. Remove the pan from the freezer and create a chocolate spiral or drizzle it anyway you desire over the cake. Place in the freezer until ready to serve. 9. Store the cake in the freezer, but leave it out for 15 minutes to thaw out before serving. Decorate the cake edges with cocoa nibs for a wonderful look and texture.

I made this today. It was delicious. I would just recommend that you make it at least 6 hours before your event to let it freeze nicely, otherwise it may turn into a little mess. Also, I would reduce the amount of lemon juice to maybe about 8 tbsp, unless you are going for a lemon tart flavor. I generally like cakes to be sweet. But, still, I loved it. I also doubled the recipe and used a regular deep ovan dish and lined it with parchment paper. Then I pulled it out (since I did not have the right size spring-form pan. It worked like a charm. Thanks for the recipe. My favorite part was the strawberry cream portion.

I just finished this recipe at home and it taste delicious, everyone loved it Mine was a little bit thinner because it didn't have enough almonds and cashews and had to improve with peanuts, but delicious nonetheless

I am making this today for my vegan friends. I hope it comes out well. :) I was only wondering about the chocolate swirl on it. Is it the same as the chocolate layer, or is it made separately? Thanks.

Do I have to use lemon, wouldn't it make it sour? And do you know any vegan frosting and icing cake brands cause I want my cake to be purple and decorate with icing and maybe a edible picture

I really want to make this for my 16th birthday, but it has cashews, which my sister is allergic to ): is there anything else I can use besides cashews that would give me the same results?

Hi, can you tell me where you got your pan, or what the name of it is? I've never seen one where the bottom detaches, making it easy to get the cake out. I really want to get one
