Cauliflower soup, freestyle recipe by my husband

Cook cauliflower, cellery, onion, garlic, vegetable stock and spices and herbs like caraway, herb mix. After vegetables are soft add a bit of salt and butter/dairy free substitute for butter and oat cream. Puree with hand mixer. Use parley and roasted sunflower seeds to garnish.

And here it is. My very first raw cake. Literally in ice. 

Before making I read few recipes and made a trip to Pinterest and after this I made my own version. You can find my inspiration recipe in English here and other one in Finnish here. From these lovely blog post's you can check also how to make a raw cake. I can't eat lemon so I chose to use passion fruit and buckthorn juice instead. Exotic, maybe...and I used organic strawberries that we picked last summer.


Kreetta's Strawberry Raw Cake recipe

Ingredients:

Crust:
a good 1 dl pecan peanuts  
7-9 soft dates
rose salt to taste
Dates are quite sweet so the salt is balancing the taste. 
 
Filling:
about 3dl cashews (soak over night in water)
Inside of 1 passion fruit
2-4 spoons of sea buckthorn juice or these two you can replace with juice of 2 lemons
1 tsp. vanilla powder
slightely less than 1 dl melted coconut oil
1/2-1 dl honey

2 dl strawberries
I used freezed organic strawberries.

These bisquits were my back up plan. Luckily didn't need it.
