Raw Carob Coconut and Pear Cake (grain-free & vegan)

February 12, 2016 By Hana Leave a Comment

Raw Carob, Coconut and Pear Cake (grain-free & vegan)

First time I’ve tried a raw cake I fell like I’ve entered a heaven, the taste was absolutely sublime. I have been actually avoiding making raw cakes for my blog as I feel there are so many of you doing such a great job, but the other day it just felt right to create one.

This Raw Carob, Coconut and Pear Cake is a bit of a fusion between my Carob, Fig and Almond Raw Balls and Raw Coconut and Raspberry Bars. There is something about carob and pear combination that I really love, the unusual carob taste combined with the subtlety and sweetness of pear really does it for me.

There are so many subtle flavours in this cake coming through at different times, the richness of coconut, carob, the hints of pear, it’s a wonderful experience. The crust is made of almonds, carob, dates and coconut oil with a pinch of sea salt and cinnamon.

The top layer is a blend of creamed coconut, coconut oil, desiccated coconut and fresh pears. It’s all finished off with some tahini drizzle to make it even more amazing. And on those occasions, if you don’t fancy chocolate, and fancy something quite different, you absolutely have to try this!

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄
