Raw Walnut Cake with Raspberry Sauce

With my birthday over my sweet tooth is still in full swing. I was inspired my @therawfoodie to come up with my own raw cake! It's super sweet and reminded me of my favorite nut rolls I would always eat for the holidays. Dates are super sweet and delicious and the prefect addition to raw sweets. 

Here's what you'll need:

I used a 7in round spring form pan (found at home goods for $4)

2 pound Medjool dates pitted

12 oz of figs

2 cups raw walnuts 

Tbsp vanilla bean powder

1 cup water

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Directions:

1. Place 1 pound of the pitted dates and all the figs in a food processor and pulse till smooth. This will be very sticky and clumpy. Add water if needed. Place in separate bowl.

2. Combine the walnuts, 1/2 cup water and vanilla bean and pulse till blended. Add remaining dates (leave about 10 out for raspberry sauce) blend till smooth. Set aside.

3. Clean processor and place raspberries and remaining 10 dates in and pulse till smooth. 

Place in pan in layers and place in freezer for about 20 minutes to make more firm, this is not required!
