Carob Devastation
The creation of this recipe was a celebratory moment in the world of raw cuisine. I always told stories about a cake I loved called “chocolate
devastation,” which was served at an upscale restaurant named Luma, in New York City. At The Raw Experience, we came up with this raw
version of a carob cake. I dubbed it Carob Devastation in honor of my favorite cake, and it became a permanent feature on our menu.
SERVES 8 TO 10
1 cup sprouted almonds
2 cups seeded, soaked dates, drained
1 cup soaked raisins, drained
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups carrot pulp (from juicing carrots)
2 cups chopped walnuts
2 cups sunflower seeds
1 cup fresh, finely chopped coconut meat
1 cup raw carob powder
2 cups Nut Crème
In a food processor, grind the almonds, dates, raisins, and vanilla. In a large bowl, mix the carrot pulp with the almond mixture. In a food processor,
grind the walnuts and sunflower seeds into a fine powder. In a separate bowl, mix the powdered walnuts and sunflower seeds, the coconut, and
carob. Gradually add the dry coconut mixture to the wet almond carrot mixture and stir well. On a serving plate, form into a cake shape and spread
the nut crème over the top.
