Valentine’s Day is right ’round the corner, yadda yadda yadda. To those of you who are sane enough to have a date this year, you’ll know how daunting it can be to look for a nice gift for your loved one. I’m personally a complete cheapskate, so I usually stick to baking cakes and such on Valentine’s Day. With that said, I have never ever had a Valentine, so I usually just sit at the table with my cake and weep myself to sleep. That’s what will be happening with this year with my Vegan Raspberry White Chocolate Cake.
This Vegan Raspberry White Chocolate Cake is a cross between Ice Cream, a Cheesecake and a tummy full of joy. I don’t know what it is really, similar to how I don’t know what life is all about either. I’ll try to explain it as best as I can. It starts off with a simply Digestive Biscuit/Vegan Butter Crust, and the filling is a cheesecake-type mixture of Cashews, Vegan Cream Cheese, Raspberries, Vanilla Bean, Maple Syrup, Coconut Oil and Cacao Butter. Half of a base mixture for this Vegan Raspberry White Chocolate Cake is blended with Raspberries, whilst the other half gets some Cacao Butter and Vanilla Bean stirred in.
Once set, you’ll have your very own Raspberry White Chocolate Cake to call your own. It won’t spoon you in the middle of the night but you’re more than welcome to spoon it in the middle of the night. Have a great Valentine’s Day, but don’t tell me or Facebook about it. Cheers!
