So it was 10:30am and my little new-born son was sleeping his morning nap. I had 2 hours to fabricate something delicious and 'amazing' to take to my in-laws for lunch as I had promised dessert. I didn't have any of the typical dessert staples in the pantry or fridge... i.e. no butter, no flour etc. So I raided the pantry. Literally. And got very, very lucky. I had nuts and dates and ALOT of inspiration, which resulted in a: 

Raw (bake-less) "Coco-Choc-Nut cake"

Since making it the first time I have made it again on two more occasions for several of my vegan friends. I will be perfecting the measurments each time (please bare with me!) but if you are feeling creative have a go!

It's super easy, quick and most importantly... Divinely Delicious!

[I once served it with sliced oranges and raspberries, and the citric flavours enhanced the rich tasting cake beautifully!]
