Raw Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cake

This cake really set me in the mood for Christmas...the combination of almonds, dates, cacao and spices create this wonderful taste which many of us crave when the days start get chilly and all you want is to cozy up with a cup of tea. Christmas is still two months away, but you can start to practice :) The recipe comes in handy when you expect someone for lunch who is not a fan of butter and co.
