Recipe:

(Makes a 8”x 8” square tin cake)

BISCUIT BASE

2 cups granola

15 pitted medjool dates

1 cup rice krispies

Pinch of sea salt

FILLING

3 cups raw cashews, soaked an hour before

150g cacao butter, melted

1 ½ cup oat milk

1 cup Irish sea moss gel

1 cup maple syrup

Seeds from 2 vanilla pods

2 tsp matcha powder

1-2 tsp blue majik powder

1 tsp pitaya powder

½ tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp freeze dried mango powder

*optional….

PLANETS

1 cup raw cashews, soaked one hour before

80g cacao butter, melted

½ cup maple syrup

½ cup oat milk

½ cup Irish sea moss gel

1 tsp matcha (sifted)

1 tsp blue majik powder (sifted)

1 tsp pitaya powder (sifted)

½ tsp turmeric (sifted)

Mix the granola, dates and salt in the food processor until fine and crumbly. Add the rice krispies and pulse a few times so everything is combined. When taking a handful it should bind together.

Transfer the mixture into the pan and use the palm of your hand to press evenly into the base of the pan. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.

This part is optional.

If you want to add hidden ‘planets’ inside the cake, you will need a few spherical silicone ice trays. Blend together the soaked cashews, melted cacao butter, maple syrup, oatmilk and Irish sea moss gel until smooth and creamy. Divide the mixture into 4 bowls depending on how many planets you’d like to create. Sift in a small mixture of each powder into each bowl. For example, for ‘earth’ use ½ tsp matcha powder and ⅛ tsp blue majik powder. Give it a swirl. For mercury you can use pitaya powder. For the sun use turmeric powder. Be creative!

Pour them into the spherical silicone molds with a tray underneath to keep it flat and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours to set.

For the main cake, blend together the soaked cashews, melted cacao butter, oat milk, Irish sea moss gel, maple syrup and vanilla seed paste until smooth and creamy. Divide into 4 bowls. Sift in the matcha powder for one, blue majik powder for another, pitaya powder for another and freeze dried mango powder & turmeric for the last one. Start with a little like ⅛ tsp and add more to your desired vibrancy. Mix each one really well until there are no clumps.

Take a spoonful of each cashew mixture and start filling the pan, alternating the colors. Gently tap the tin to remove any air bubbles. Use a chopstick or skewer and swirl a few times to make a beautiful marble effect.

Take out the planets from the freezer, release them from the molds and assemble the two halves together. Place the planets how you like. Give enough space for each. Use a chopstick or fork to press them all the way down to the crust layer.

Take a spoonful of each cashew mixture alternating the colors like the first one. Use the chopstick/skewer to make a decorative swirl. Transfer to the freezer for about 6 hours or overnight to set.

Release cake from pan and transfer to the refrigerator. Let it thaw out for at least 5-6 hours before serving.
