The foundation

of this cake is a buttery vegan crust, which adds a satisfying crunch that complements the creamy filling. Made with silken tofu and soaked cashews, the filling is incredibly smooth and decadent, providing that creamy texture you crave without any dairy.
The addition of fresh orange juice and zest gives it a bright, citrusy flavor that dances on your taste buds, bringing a touch of sunshine to your day.

Carob powder, often hailed as a chocolate alternative, adds depth and a hint of sweetness without the caffeine found in chocolate.
This makes the cake a fantastic choice for anyone looking to indulge without the jitters. It’s a guilt-free dessert that doesn’t compromise on taste!
