Course Cake
Cuisine German
Servings 1 cake (8 inch)

Equipment

  • 7inch spring-form
  • 8inch spring-form
  • high-speed blender with tamper

Ingredients
  

For the raspberry filling:

  • 200 g raspberries
  • 210 g cashews*
  • 70 g sunflower seeds*
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium fiber husk

For the crust:

  • 140 g nuts* (I used macadamia nuts)*

For the vanilla layer:

  • 280 g cashews*
  • 70 g sunflower seeds*
  • 250 ml water
  • 60 ml + 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup (depending on how sweet you like it)
  • 1-2 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium fiber husk
  • * soak them in water for at least 4 hours, then rinse and drain

Instructions
 

  • Line the base of the smaller 7inch cake tin with baking paper.
  • Blend all ingredients except the psyllium fiber husk for the strawberry filling smooth. Use a highspeed blender with tamper for best results.
  • Once the mixture is smooth, add the psyllium fiber husk and blend a little longer. Pour into cake tin, spread evenly and place in freezer until firm (approx. 2 hours).
  • Line the base of the larger cake tin with baking paper. Place ingredients for crust into blender and pulse to fine crumbles.
  • Transfer to cake tin, spread evenly and press firm. Remove the raspberry filing from freezer, take out of cake tin and place on top of the crust.
  • For the vanilla layer, blend all ingredients except the psyllium fiber until smooth. Use a high-speed blender with tamper for best results. Once the mixture is smooth, add the psyllium fiber husk and blend a little longer.
  • Spread the vanilla layer over the raspberry filling. Make sure it is spread well. It helps to gently hit the cake tin onto the table a few times to make air bubbles come to the surface. Garnish to your liking.
  • Place in freezer until set (approx. 3 to 4 hours). Cut slices when the cake is still quite firm. Then keep chilled until serving.
