BANANA SUPERFOOD CAKE

A variation on the superfood cake , that was a favourite of my son Dale for any birthday or celebratory occasion . THE BASE ...... 1/4 cup of goji berries , 1/2 cup of raw macadamia nuts,1 tsp of maca powder , 1/2 cup of raw pistachio nuts , 1/2 cup of raw almonds and 1/2 cup of chopped medjool dates .(you can use prunes (dried plums ), they are just aren't as sweet as dates .) Place all the base ingredients in your food processor and pulse until finely chopped and resemble a fine crumb. Turn the mixture into a lined spring form pan ( 20 cm ), pressing down the top with your fingers , then place the pan in the freezer to set . THE FILLING .... I cut up 3 bananas 350gm ( you could use avocados )and placed them in my processor along with 1/2 cup of coconut cream ,1/2 cup of organic vanilla extract and 3/4 cup of raw cacao powder , now process until smooth and creamy . Make sure the mixture is well combined . Now pour the mixture over the partially frozen base , smooth over with a spatula . All that is left is to scatter over goji berries and raw pistchio nuts . Place in your freezer and set , when you are ready to serve remove from the freezer for a couple of hours in an airtight container in your refrigerator . Enjoy ...
