Raw Peace Out Chocolate Cake




231 calories, 14.4 grams sugar, 14.4 grams fat, 22.3 grams carbohydrates, 7.1 grams protein Indulge in a decadent cake that’s light in calories yet dense in chocolate-y texture! Raw cacao powder lends this rich dessert its addictive flavor, but it’s also packed with nutritional benefits.
“By weight, cacao has more antioxidants than red wine, green tea, acai, pomegranates, and blueberries combined,” Stowers says. “Phenylethylamine (PEA) is a chemical produced in our body when we fall in love. It increases focus, alertness, and serves as a natural appetite suppressant. We can produce this chemical at will by eating raw cacao.”
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. raw walnuts
1 c. pitted medjool dates
1/3 c. raw cacao powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pinch salt
Directions:
Process in the food processor with the “S” blade until mixture sticks together. You can add a tiny amount of water if needed to moisten your mixture. Don’t overprocess or you will make nut butter. Pat mixture into an 8 in. round cake pan.
Makes 8 servings.
