Raw vegan Swedish princess cake

Hey guys! It's finally May!! Only one more month until Swedish summer! Let's celebrate with something very Swedish, the Princess cake! Not just any princess cake... No, it's a special one for the raw vegan princesses... :P

As far as the name "prinsesstårta" which means pricess cake in Swedish, it’s certainly more appealing than it's original name "Green cake.” The cake got it's new name prinsesstårta because the Swedish princesses loved the cake so much.

I've been eating prinsesstårta (read: PRIN-sess-TOHR-tah :P) since I was a child, I would say at least once a year. I know that because I always had it on my birthday. The original recipe of princess cake consists of spongy layers of cake alternating with jam, vanilla custard and whipped cream topped with a thin layer of bright green marzipan.

Ingredients:
Coconut cream

• 14 oz coconut cream
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp agave

Vanilla custard

• 1 cup soaked cashew nuts
• 1 tsp vanila extract
• 4 tbsp agave
• 3 tbsp water
• 3 tbsp coconut oil

Chia jam

• 8 oz strawberies (defrosted)
• 3 tbsp chia seeds

Spongecake

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 2 tbsp agave
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
•  pinch cardemom

Raw green marzipan

• 7 tbsp agave
• 1 small handful of spinach
• pinch of spirulina
• pinch of turmeric 
• 1 cup almond flour 
• 1/2 cup coconut flour

This cake is made upside down in a bowl to make it in a round shape (see pictures). When finished, turn it with the flat side down on a serving plate and cover it with the green marzipan. Use plastic wrap in the bowl to make it easy to take out the cake after freezing. 

Instructions:

1. To make the green marzipan: Start by blending the agave, spinach, spirulina and turmeric in a high speed blender until you have a smooth green sauce. Add almond flour slowly while blending. When the paste is too thick to blend, move it to a bowl and work the dough with your hands while adding the coconut flour until you get a very firm dough with marzipan texture. When it's done, set aside for later.
