Vegan Fudgy Raw Cake with Strawberry Frosting

I have no words for this cake. I can only swear improper words due to the fact that strawberry season is over.

The raw cake is scrumptious and this frosting is absolutely out of this world.

FUDGY RAW CHOCOLATE CAKE:

3 cups walnuts or pecans
1 heaping cup of dates, pitted and softened in warm water
⅔ cup raw cacao powder
¼ tsp Hymalaian salt or sea salt
¼ cup coconut oil
1-2 TBS date/maple syrup

Process first the walnuts, then add dates. Process until it forms a sticky dough (don't overheat your processor, do it slowly, scraping the sides all the time). Pour into a big bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Work on the mix with your hands (use gloves if you like) until you get a uniform dough.

Press half the cake mix into the bottom of an adjustable spring-form pan. Let it set in the fridge for at least 2 hours before adding the frosting.

FROSTING:

My sub in the frosting: a mix of Xylitol + Erytritol for the powdered sugar (which I never use in my recipes). That's why it was runnier than the original. I suggest reducing a bit the amount of strawberries if not sticking to the original sugar.
