Summer Lemon-Raspberry Raw Cake with a coconut crust

This Summer Lemon-Raspberry Raw Cake with a coconut crust is naturally sweetened, gluten-free, vegan, and a perfectly refreshing dessert! It is full of nutrients from nuts and fruits, and healthier than any store-bought cake.

Ever since I made my raw vegan New York cheesecake, I’ve been totally hooked on soaking cashews and blending them up into raw cakes. I especially like this summer version where lemon and coconut flavors work hand in hand to give you a fresh summery explosion in your mouth.The raspberry layer is there to give you an additional kick of berry flavor and it goes really well with the lemon and coconut. What I did this time, was that I even added some lime zest to the crust, which makes the Cake even more intensive.

I’ve baked for my whole life and to be honest, I was always a little skeptical with these „unbaked“ raw cakes. How could something that has not even been in the oven be as good as a warm cake with a crust and a soft inside? Well, I am still a big fan of baked cakes but I extended my baking range and I got into raw baking and thought it is fascinating. You have to rethink everything you know about baking and you can explore new consistencies and flavors. Especially in summer; I think I would prefer a slightly cold raw cake over a baked cake.

Well, I really hope, I could convince you to try a raw cake. Give it a go! 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!
