method
- Step 1 :Soak the cashews in a large bowl of water overnight.
- Step 2 :In the morning, drain the cashews and pop them in the blender, along with the hazelnuts. Blend for a few minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender. When the mixture is starting to become smooth, add the rest of the cake ingredients, and blend continuously for about five minutes.
- Step 3 :While this is happening, mix together the ingredients for the base in a large bowl until they are well combined.
- Step 4 :In a 27cm x 18cm rectangular slice pan, press the base mixture down firmly, ensuring it is even. Pop it in the freezer for about fifteen minutes.
- Step 5 :Remove the base from the freezer, and pour over the cake mixture. Using a spatula, gently coax the mixture out to the edges of the tin, and ensure it is even. Pop this back into the freezer, overnight if possible.
- Step 6 :Finally, liberally pour melted Loving Earth hazelnut cacao butter over the top of the slice, and freeze for another five or so minutes. Slice into twelve individual slices and serve! You can keep this in the freezer, or in the fridge for a short period of time.
