Anleitungen
- Cut the dates into small pieces and grind them together with walnuts in a mixer. The mixture should be sticky. Place the mixture on a baking tin lined with baking paper and press lightly with your fingers.
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. Mix the almonds in a blender at the highest speed until they become flour. Add dates, vegetable drink, pumpkin puree, raw cocoa and cinnamon and mix until it's creamy.
- Pour the mixture over the walnut-date base and bake for approx. 50-60 minutes. Check the dough every now and then with a wooden stick. The cake dough may still be slightly moist from the inside after baking. Allow the cake to cool in the form for a few minutes.
- Remove the seeds from the apples and cut into slices. Put some oil in a pan and fry the apples lightly on both sides. Place the apple slices over the cake and drizzle with chocolate sauce as desired.
Notizen
For the cake you need a small springform 18 cm in diameter.
If you don't have a high performance mixer at hand, you can also use a hand mixer to mix the ingredients for the dough. For the processing of almonds, walnuts and dates it is recommended to use a powerful food processor.
