Raw Mango Pistachio Cake with Saffron

Raw Mango Pistachio Cake with Saffron

I’m a complete failure when it comes to raw desserts. I have decent skills in the kitchen, and I usually don’t have any problems with cooking and baking anything. I rarely make an inedible disaster, but with raw cakes, I tend to mess up big time. I tried it many times, and no matter how precisely I followed the recipe, the cake just didn’t come out right. I mean the desserts usually tasted all right, but the consistency was not very cake-like. It was more like something you would eat with a spoon from a bowl. Somehow, I have always managed to make a filling that wasn’t thick enough. My last attempt looked like one giant bowl of thick smoothie. Usually all the raw cake recipes say to presoak nuts and dried fruit in water, but that has never, ever worked out for me. I’m not trying to say that all the raw cake recipes are wrong – just that I have had no success with them.

Then, the other day, I finally got it right! And the trick was that I used dry nuts. I didn’t soak them in the water at all, instead I just blended them dry. So, raw pistachio mango cake with saffron is my first raw cake that I can actually call a cake. And it was fantastic, which is why I think it’s really worth sharing this recipe. Mango pairs perfectly with pistachios and saffron, giving it a fantastic color and a hint of an exotic taste. Feel free to substitute mango for any other fruit you like.
