STRAWBERRY RAINBOW

Triple Layer Cashew Mousse Cake with Strawberries, Mango & Matcha

Vegan – Gluten Free

Posted on May 23rd, 2017

​

This is a very special cake, because I made it for my daughter’s birthday. We are both born in May, which is my favorite month in a year, even though the weather wasn’t the best this year so far. Nevertheless, we had the chance to have a lovely picnic in the park and celebrate our birthdays, while this cake was still in the freezer. My birthday is three days before my daughter’s, so I gave it to her little but later. It was a surprise and she was especially impressed by the roses made of strawberries.

​

If you like them too, you can watch a You Tube video I found. It is attached at end of the page. My roses are not too perfect, because my strawberries were little bit too chubby and flat on two sides. You can’t really see it on the shape of the roses, but if you take a closer look at the strawberry slices, you will know what I mean.

 

The main thing is that the cake is absolutely delicious and no sweetener added. At least that’s how I made it, but you can add little bit of maple syrup if you wish. Either way, this is a totally guilt free, super healthy dessert.

Vanilla powder pinch ¼ tsp for each layer

​

PROCESS

Start blending all the ingredients for the Matcha layer starting with the cashews in a food processor by pressing pulse slowly and gradually first, and then on full speed until you get completely smooth texture.

Pour into your cake form by starting from the middle spreading with spatula all the way to the edges.

When ready, place it again into the freezer for ½ hour to let the layer firm up.

In the mean time repeat the process with the mango layer.

When ready, careful pour the layer on top of the Matcha layer and place into freezer for ½ hour.

Repeat the same with the top strawberry layer and store the cake into freezer for at least 6 hours.

When ready, move the cake from freezer to refrigerator for couple of hours before you remove the spring form. 

You may have to wait couple more hours before is totally thawed and ready to be served. 

Decorate your cake, ½ before serving.
