Raw Vegan Tiramisu Cake

Aug 2, 2017 · 53 Kommentare

A classic reinvented totally dairy-free, gluten-free in a cake form: Raw Vegan Tiramisu Cake
I love tiramisu! I loved it since I was a child, on vacation with my parents in Italy, indulging in this creamy heavenly „something“, that seemed perfect and unflawed. For months, it was a goal to recreate this classic in a vegan, no-bake and nourishing way. And it still needed to be super-yummy, so my Italian friends would love it as much as the traditional one.

Raw Vegan Tiramisu Cake

The „how to make a Tiramisu vegan challenge“


When starting this challenge I found the Tiramisu recipe from Audrey from Unconventionalbaker and I adapted a big chunck of her recipe to overcome the two main challenges I had to face. How do I replace the consistency of mascarpone and how it would turn out without adding any single egg. Also, I wanted to completely leave out the alcohol and still get a good result. With no expectations at all, I started creating and normally I would need 2-3 trails in order to be satisfied with my creation. This time was different. I tried it and I thought it was:

CREAMY

PERFECT BALANCE OF FLAVORS

CHOCOLATEY YET COFFEE INFUSED

MUCH LIGHTER THAN A CLASSICAL TIRAMISU

I personally thought that the lack of alcohol wasn’t a problem at all. I used very rich cold pressed coffee powder and raw cacao powder which both added to the richness of the Cake. However, if you feel like adding some booze, please go ahead and let m know how it went, so I can add it here in this post. I would say using Kahlua would work best!

The best part about this Cake is not only that it tastes super delicious it is also a healthy, gluten-free, vegan version, which in my opinion tastes better than the traditional one and makes you feel less heavy after eating it. I know bakers always love to title their new creation such as: „the best….I’ve ever made.“, but this one really is the best vegan Cake I’ve ever made and believe me I have tried a lot!

To make the cake, you only need a bunch of ingredients, and I swear none of them are fancy or hard to get!

Raw Vegan Tiramisu Cake

I hope you give this Italian classic a go! I am a little bit scared to get Italien reviews but I think I can handle it:) I would be very happy to see your own version on Social Media! Share it with me on my on Instagram @vanillacrunnch or leave a comment here!

    Does this mean, that the Tiramisu will have to be eaten frozen? If totally unfrozen (out of the fridge), would it collapse? thanks for a wonderful looking recipe.

    Hello.

    I love this recipe, thank you for sharing! All the tastes are well balanced. Do you have any recommendations how to make the cream layer more creamier? Mine was kind of watery. Should I try adding for example cocoa butter?

      Hi Elina, Yes totally and only take the really hard part of the coconut cream this should help as well as watery parts can make it less creamy. Hope that helps 🙂

      Around 8-10 depending on the size of slices. They are very rich so you can slice rather thin slices.

    I’ve wanted to try this cake since you posted it but somehow never made it. Now I finally got it done and it was super delish! I was just wondering about the crust. In the german recipe it says 30 g hazelnuts, in english it’s 1/2 cup which would be 75 g. Same for the almonds. That really changes the ratio of nuts to dates! I went with the english recipe but I feel like the crust should have been stickier so more dates or less nuts.
