VERY RAW CARROT CAKE

 

1/2 cup raisins, soaked 20 minutes

1/2 cup dried apricots, soaked 20 minutes

2 cups pecans or walnuts

2 tbs pine nuts

1 1/2 cup coconut

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp Chinese 5 spice powder

pinch nutmeg

pinch clove

6 cup carrot pulp

1 1/2 cups date pieces

 

Make the carrot pulp while fruit is soaking. Put the

carrot juice aside for another recipe or drink it while

you are working in the kitchen. Change from the juicing

screen to the blank screen before proceeding with the rest

of the recipe.

 

Soak the raisins and apricots in two separate bowls. In a

food processor, combine the pecans and pine nuts; process

until uniformly fine. Add the coconut and pulse a few

times until mixed. Add the spices and pulse until mixed;

set aside.

 

In a heavy duty juicer, using the blank screen, alternate

putting the carrot pulp, raisins, apricots and dates

through the machine into a bowl. Knead this mixture with

your hands until the ingredients are evenly combined. Add

the nut mixture a little at a time, kneading it in.

Firmly pack the mixture into a form pan or mold. This

recipe is large enough to use several small molds or

containers or put into two 8" layer pans and make a layer

cake with the Raisin Frosting below.

RAISIN FROSTING

 

1 cup raisins, soaked 1 hour

1 cup apple juice

1 tbs flaxseed oil

1/2 tsp vanilla

pinch cinnamon

1 tsp psyllium

 

In a small bowl, combine the raisins and apple juice. Let

soak 1 hour; drain, reserving soak liquid. In a blender,

combine the raisins with enough of the reserved soak

liquid to allow the blender to operate; blend. When the

raisins are very smooth, blend in the oil, then the

vanilla and cinnamon. Add the psyllium slowly. Blend

thoroughly, then let the mixture thicken for 30-60 minutes

in refrigerator before using.
