Take note
Please note that this recipe does not involve any baking, so you won't be able to enjoy the traditional fluffy texture of a regular cake. Also, make sure you have a high-speed blender or food processor on hand to properly blend the ingredients.

1

Mix and blend the crust

In a food processor, combine 1 cup of almonds, 1 cup of pitted dates, and 1/4 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut. Pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly and sticks together when pressed between your fingers.

2

Press the crust into the pan

Transfer the crust mixture into a cake pan and press it firmly into the bottom using your fingertips or the back of a spoon. Make sure the crust is evenly distributed and compact.

3

Prepare the matcha filling

In a high-speed blender, combine 2 cups of raw cashews (soaked in water for a few hours and drained), 1/4 cup of coconut oil, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of matcha powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

4

Pour the filling over the crust

Carefully pour the matcha filling mixture over the crust in the cake pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.

5

Chill and set the cake

Place the cake pan in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm. For best results, leave it overnight to allow the flavors to meld together and the texture to set.

6

Garnish and serve

When you're ready to serve, garnish the cake with additional matcha powder, sliced almonds, or fresh berries. Cut into slices and enjoy this raw vegan matcha cake with pure bliss!
