Recipe Directions
- 1. Place apples in food processor by themselves. Process them very briefly - just to reduce them to littler chunks - about the size of pieces of popped popcorn. Leave apples in food processor.
- 2. Now add all cake ingredients into food processor. Process briefly and slowly, stopping to monitor the process. You want to get the texture seen in the above pictures - you want to be able to see small chunks of apple, walnuts, raisins etc. Do not over-process!
- 3. Press cake down into a cake pan or square baking dish firmly.
- 4. Place all icing ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
- 5. Ice cake.
- 6. Refrigerate your raw apple walnut cake for at least two hours. The cake and the icing will both harden up a bit in the fridge.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian This raw apple walnut cake is inspired by my popular raw carrot cake recipe, but this recipe is made with apples instead of carrots and has some other minor tweaks, like less water, more spices and no sunflower seeds. One of the reasons that I love both the apple walnut cake and the carrot cake is for three reasons: (1) they are not too heavy tasting (2) so nice and moist! (3) they keep really well in the fridge and you can make them in advance for a party.
This recipe keeps surprisingly well - for 4 days or so. You can make this in advance and it holds its shape and does not get soggy (provided that you did not overprocess the cake). In fact, I actually think it tastes better as a leftover! You really must refrigerate it for at least two hours, or ideally even longer so that it will hold its shape and be easy to cut.
This recipe should always be kept in the fridge.

This tastes divine. Only trouble is that it is very crumbly. You couldn't eat it without a fork. Although the ingredients were pretty well chopped up, perhaps I should try processing them even finer next time. And, there definitely will be a next time!
