That apple cake recipe sounds delicious. Can't post this recipe, but thought I'd post pics of my culinary endeavors (I'm no Suzie Homemaker). A week ago, I made the equivalent of 5 Heavenly Mudslide Pies for a Cooking Vegetarian Class. To be specific, they were raw food pies.....extremely labor intensive....coconut milk from young Thai coconuts, almond milk made from almonds soaked for 24 hours, etc., etc.
The pie was for us...wasn't going to go through all that work and not have any
The crust was made of processed almonds, coconut slices, date paste (Medjool dates run through a grinder), pinch of salt and vanilla water (made from 3 vanilla beans chopped up and processed in a cup of water), and raw cacao powder. Worked from 5:30 to 2 am (did take a 1/2 hour break and browsed MFK)
The white chocolate filling was made of coconut milk, soaked cashews, agave nectar, lecithin, cacao butter, vanilla water, salt. 2nd filling was made of white chocolate filling with raw almond butter. The dark chocolate filling was made from almond milk, agave nectar, cacao powder, cacao butter, lecithin, vanilla water, salt.
Got the recipe from this book
Extremely rich, extremely yummy. It's been requested for Thursday....so I'll be in the kitchen a few hours on Wed. night

Recipes are up another notch from vegan--recipes are raw, organic, plant based. Everything I've tried has been scrumptious. Recipes are from the gourmet raw food restaurant Sweet Gratitude in the Bay area. It's incredible what these food artists are doing with raw ingredients. Besides pies, "cheese" cakes, they make cakes using almond flour (what's left over from the almond milk process). Sweeteners are agave nectar dates and sometimes Yacon syrup. They use a lot of coconut oil to thicken things, but that is supposed to be one saturated fat that is not bad.
