Strawberry Cake No Flour, No Sugar, No Bake

6 servings

30 minutes

This strawberry cake is a true embodiment of lightness and health benefits. Its origin is linked to modern healthy eating trends, where the absence of flour, sugar, and thermal processing highlights the natural sweetness and rich flavor of the ingredients. The base of the dessert consists of nuts and dates, creating a dense, slightly crunchy crust with caramel notes. A delicate cashew cream with lemon juice and honey adds a light tanginess that balances the sweetness of the berry layer. The finishing strawberry layer gives the dessert freshness and brightness, making it an ideal treat for summer days. This cake not only impresses with its texture and harmony of flavors but also serves as an excellent choice for those who value natural products and care about their health.

• Strawberry: 150 g
• Lemon juice: 2 tbsp

Cooking steps

1. Cashews need to be soaked for 5–8 hours beforehand.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cashew: 85 g

2. Chop walnuts, dates, and salt in a blender. The finished mixture looks crumbly, but if you squeeze it with your fingers, it should stick together.

   Required ingredients:

   • Walnuts: 65 g
   • Pitted dates: 95 g
   • Salt:  pinch

3. Distribute the mass in a parchment-lined mold and press it down well. Place it in the refrigerator while preparing the next layer.

4. In a blender, grind the cashews and mix with lemon juice and honey (maple syrup can be used instead of honey). At this stage, the juice and syrup should be added gradually and the resulting mixture should be tasted; it should be more sour than sweet, but it's important not to overdo it.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cashew: 85 g
   • Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons
   • Honey: 2 tablespoons

5. Transfer 2/3 of the mass from the top to the first layer, distribute evenly, and place back in the refrigerator.

6. At this time, blend the remaining third with strawberries. If you didn't find sweet enough strawberries, you can add more honey or maple syrup to taste.

   Required ingredients:

   • Strawberry: 150 g
   • Honey: 2 tablespoons

7. Spread the third layer evenly. Place the cake in the freezer. 15-20 minutes before serving, it should be moved from the freezer to the refrigerator.

8. Before serving, place sliced strawberries on top.

   Required ingredients:

   • Strawberry: 150 g
