Raw Flourless Cake with Dates and Nuts

raw flourless cake recipeINGREDIENTS
3 cups nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, or Brazil nuts
1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup pitted Medjool dates, packed
1 tablespoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons agave syrup (optional)
PREPARATION
1. Place the nuts and salt in a food processor and break down the nuts into chunks. Add pieces of dates, rather than one large lump, and the vanilla. Process until the nuts bind together with the sticky dates to form a cake batter.
2. Test the batter by grabbing a handful and squeezing to make sure it holds together. If it’s not sticky enough, add a few more dates, or 1 to 2 tablespoons of agave syrup, and process until it holds together.
3. (Optional) To make more complex cakes, alternate layers of different flavors, such as vanilla with chocolate cake.
