A “good fat cake” is all about that delicious taste without the guilt – one of life’s greatest pleasures! This one makes plenty of serves, and you can have the prep work done in less time than it takes to sit down and watch a movie. If you’re feeling inspired, you might even like to meditate away the time while you’re waiting for the cake to firm up in the fridge!

prep time: 1 hr 30 min

stuff you need

2 cups walnuts
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup raw cacao powder

1 1/2 cups coconut milk

  1. Line the base of a 20 cm (8 inch) springform cake tin with baking paper and grease the edges with a little coconut oil.
  2. Place all of the base ingredients into your food processor.
  3. Whiz these ingredients until a smooth paste forms.
