Raw Chocolate Raspberry Fudge Cake

When I mentioned in yesterday's post that I was going to attempt a sugar free, vegan chocolate cake I had a couple people leave comments and tweet their doubts at me.

Trust me, I had my doubts too but it turned out really yummy. I forgot to take pictures of my Martha Stewart moment but luckily the website where I found this recipe has amazing pictures which I will use to make you drool. This fudge cake is as delicious as it looks.

The recipe:

• 2/3 cup raspberries
• 3 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 4 Tbsp (I ended up using 5) Artisana Coconut Butter (or Homemade Coconut Butter*)
• Scant 1/16th tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp Agave Sweetener (You can use less or more depending on your sweet tooth)

Melt your coconut butter a little bit, then add the raspberries (I like to use frozen/thawed berries and thaw them a little) and other ingredients. Mash until it’s completely smooth, like chocolate butter.

Put it into a container of your choice and put it in the fridge. Once it's hardened a bit you'll have a fudge textured cake of deliciousness. I topped mine with fresh strawberries. YUM.

So where did I find this recipe? From Chocolate Covered Katie of course.

Can't find Coconut Butter? I couldn't either. Luckily, Katie tells us how to make our own. Just throw a bag of unsweetened coconut in your blender and blend until it's a buttery texture. It might take a few minutes (it took me 15 to be exact) and I had to keep turning the blender off and mixing the coconut up with a spoon until it finally became the correct texture.
