5. Raw Vegan Gingerbread Cake
The heart of this cake is the gingerbread spices, which make it a great Christmas dessert. I used Ceylon cinnamon, ground cardamom, ginger, and clove, but you can also use a store-bought spice mix if you don’t have those at hand.

8. Raw Mango Passion Fruit Cake
The recipe is nut-free, raw and very simple. The cake is more like a parfait than a creamy cake and the texture makes it really fresh. On top of the creamy mango filling there’s a mango passion fruit icing, which gives a nice spark to the cake. And if you want to make it look real fine, just decorate the cake with a handful of fresh berries and you’re good to go.

Say Hello to the best vegan Nutella Cake I made so far – better than the original because it is way more flavor intensive and I avoid using all the nasty stuff such as refined sugar, unhealthy fats, or additives.

18. Raw Vegan Neopolitan Cake
This Raw Vegan Neapolitan Cake turned out really great. I’ve made it already for two times in no more than a week.. is that good. A perfect chocolaty crust, chocolaty smooth layer, strawberry and vanilla layers follow after.. and topped with some cocoa nibs which bring a nice texture and taste to the final cake. It looks so good with all these layers and tastes absolutely divine.
19. Chocolate Hazelnut Orange Cake

20. Raw Beet Cashew Cake
This cashew cake is mainly made of cashews (obviously) which makes it smooth and creamy, but still dense and fluffy. Basically a cheesecake, without the cheese! Almost reminding me of whipped frosting. Mmm! The rich color of the cake comes from beets. No artificial dyes or weird ingredients here. Three cheers for natural food coloring!
