Blueberry Chocolate Cake (Vegan, Gluten-free, Without Refined Sugar, Low-Fat)
I am usually not a big fan of combining fruit with chocolate but in this case I once again have to admit, it tastes damn delicious! :) I have topped the blueberry chocolate cake with some vanilla cashew cream which really adds nicely. But it also works without it.

For a 18cm (7inch) spring-form you'll need:
For the cake:
- 75 g fair-trade cocoa powder
- 70 g rice flour
- 30 g tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon psyllium fiber husk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 140 g dates
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 130 g blueberries
For the cashew vanilla drizzle:
- 35 g cashews soak them in filtered water for at least 3 hours, then rinse and drain them
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste or essence
- extra sweetener if desired
Preheat the oven to 190°C (top-/ bottom heat). Line the spring form with baking paper.
Mix all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
In a blender, blend the dates and water until smooth. Pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well.
Scoop the dough into the spring form and spread evenly. Sprinkle blueberries on top and gently push them into the dough.
Bake covered for approx. 20 to 25 minutes. When an inserted wooden skewer comes out slightly sticky, the cake is ready. I like to run the wooden skewer along the sides to make it easier to remove the spring form.
For the cashew vanilla drizzle, blend all ingredients to a fine cream, using a powerful mini-blender.
