Hey guys! I’m back but not for long. Just long enough to share with all you lovelies this amazing recipe! The cake I made for my blog 1st birthday last year … wouldn’t mind a piece or two right now:)

#raw #vegan Birthday Cake from Deviliciously Raw

It’s been a two years since I announced Deviliciously Raw into the world. One year ago I posted my very first Deviliciously Raw blog post (it was short and I’ve got 1 like maybe…) and from that time ever since, my life had became a giant whirlwind of happiness, thankfulness. It’s been an exciting couple of years of full of learning and about how much I love that part, ups and downs. I will be completely honest and say I jumped in way over my head in the beginning. I have learned a lot about taking photos of food, a much about food failures (I don’t blog about all those!) and how to really embrace the beauty of imperfection. I’ve grown so much, not just as a blogger, but as a person and I’m so grateful to you for all of your loving support and presence. A big thank you to all staying with me. This journey is for all of us, and my joy is sharing it with all of you. And so this cake is for all of you to celebrate you and your dreams, to follow your heart and to have strength to keep going even if it gets tough and you feel like hit the wall. So here, today is my blog’s 2nd birthday with a celebration cake that is easy to make, festive and delicious!

#raw #vegan Birthday Cake from Deviliciously Raw

As a child, I was lucky enough to grow up in a home that treasured homemade birthday cakes. By today’s standards, those cakes were not Pin-worthy or Instagrammable but they were made with so much love. Sometimes they were several layers high and sometimes they were just one layer, but they were always nice and most artfully decorated in a lets-put-some-effort-into-this kind of way. The best part about this one? It’s demonstrate my love for cake decorating!

Now to the cake! What’s better than a delicious cake? Delicious healthy cake, of course.!! Ingredients you’ll need to make this amazing cake: zucchini, dates, almonds, pecan, shredded coconut, coconut oil, coconut nectar, lucuma powder, raw dark chocolate bar, cacao butter, cacao powder, almond butter and orange extract.

Here is why zucchini is a good idea:

As an outstanding source of manganese and Vitamin C, zucchini is the best source of dietary fiber that will keep your body in the best shape for the long run, helps in lowering cholesterol.  It also contains Vitamin A, magnesium, copper, and phosphorus. Zucchini contains good amounts of potassium that helps reduce blood pressure. It also contains moderate levels of folate that breaks down amino acids like homocysteine that cause heart attacks and strokes. Also has a high content of omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, niacin, and protein. Moreover, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B2, and calcium in zucchini assure optimal health. Zucchini is probably the best example of squash that has such a rich array of nutrients, including sugar, carbohydrates, soluble and insoluble fiber, sodium, minerals, amino acids and more.

You’ll need: high speed blender, food processor

[𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗣𝗘] Ever heard [𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗣𝗘] Ever heard of Green Pea and Ginger Bread? Probably not, but let me tell you, it’s one of the greatest things I have shoved in my face in a long time. It’s lightly sweet, moist yet soft with great crumb. Naturally colored sweet green pea and ginger bread is perfect for any kind of sandwich.

The green pea color looks simply beautiful. It has a light and tempting flavor of green pea on it. 

And it’s also perfect for making biscotti (you can add in ½ cup of pistachios). Green peas and pistachios are a classic and truly outstanding combination. So, what do you think! Link in my bio 💚

This cake has a classic coconut and oat base, paired with fresh ginger and naturally sweet pineapple that I blended with fresh lime juice and infused with even more lime zest for extra zing. 

The extra glorious color comes from by the addition of spirulina and matcha powder. This is a lovely treat to have at hand.
