No-Bake Lemon Blueberry Cake (Vegan, Gluten-free, Nut-free)

Blueberry season is not going to last forever. And the lemon trees have slowed down too. Time to make a recipe, combing these delicious flavours!

I’ve been experimenting with raw and nut-free cake options for quite a while. And I find sunflower seeds work quite well as a substitute for nuts 🙂

While I use pumpkin seeds in the crust, you can also use sunflower seeds or nuts, if you are OK with them 🙂

This no-bake lemon blueberry cake recipe is as always vegan, gluten-free, without refined sugar and this time also without nuts.

For the crust:

• 110 g pumpkin seeds soak them in water for at least 8 hours, then rinse and drain
• 105 g dates pitted and diced

For the lemon layer:

• 210 g sunflower seeds soak them in water for at least 8 hours, then rinse and drain

• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder

For the blueberry layer:

Instructions

 

• For the crust, place pumpkin seeds and dates into blender and pulse a few times until crumbly.
• Line cake tin with baking paper and scoop mixture into it. Spread it evenly and press it firm.
• For the lemon layer, blend all ingredients until smooth. It might pay to use a tamper for this step as the mixture will become quite thick.
• Transfer lemon mixture into cake tin and spread it evenly.
• Blend ingredients for blueberry layer until smooth. A powerful mini-blender is recommended for this step.
• Place dollops of blueberry paste onto the lemon layer. Then use a teaspoon to make swirls.
