It is safe (and preferred) for culinary use &ndash; having a much sweeter and fragrant taste.<\/p>\n<p>If the floral notes are too strong for your preference, you can try dry-roasting the flowers to mellow them out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13253\" src=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Lavender-Cake-2.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of medicinal lavender on a cake\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-pin-description=\"Creamy, dreamy, raw Lavender Cake with coconut, fresh cherries and figs.

Melatonin is an antioxidant and hormone, produced endogenously by the pineal gland in response to darkness. It is responsible for helping regulate our sleep &ndash; in fact, it is available in supplement form specifically for insomnia.<\/p>\n<p>Cherries are such a rich source of this hormone, that you take them therapeutically in the form of pure, tart cherry juice concentrate, before bed to help you sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Adequate melatonin levels are needed in order to rest and reset the immune system overnight.<\/p>\n<h2>Figs<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most ancient of fruits &ndash; figs were originally grown in Egypt, before they arrived in Greece.

I went for luxury (macadamia nuts) but you can use cashews as an alternative.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is date paste?<\/strong> Date paste is a great thing to have on hand in the fridge when making raw desserts. Often times, dates can be a little tough and dry, and by blending them with a small amount of water to make a paste, you now have something much juicier to work with. This will be advantageous in brownies, mousses, and tart bases for example - especially when you are pressing it into a scalloped pie tin.<\/p>\n<p>When choosing dates, try and find the Medjool variety, they are the plumpest, and have a great caramel taste to them.<\/p>\n<p>Date paste will keep in the fridge for weeks. You can also freeze small portions if you know you won&rsquo;t be needing it in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To make a batch of date paste,<\/strong> soak 4 cups od juicy, pitted Medjool dates in water until soft. Then drain, and add to a food processor with &frac14; cup fresh water and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>You can use date paste in any recipe that calls for dates:<\/p>\n<p><em>1 tablespoon of paste = 1 whole date.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13259\" src=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste.jpg\" alt=\"Date paste in a ceramic dish\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste-680x680.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste-360x361.jpg 360w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Date-Paste.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>The filling <\/strong>is made by blending soaked cashew nuts with young coconut meat, then adding the other ingredients to flavour. Young Thai coconuts have the sweetest flavour &ndash; and you&rsquo;ll need to crack them open and scoop out the flesh inside.<\/p>\n<p>It should be soft but hold together well. If it&rsquo;s too firm, it won&rsquo;t give a creamy result, and if it&rsquo;s like jelly, the cake will be too watery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Psyllium husks <\/strong>are included in the filling, to act as a binder. You can find them at a natural health store, they&rsquo;ll likely be sold as a natural laxative (they&rsquo;re pure fibre!).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honey <\/strong>can be substituted for pure maple syrup if the recipe needs to be vegan, however it does really compliment the flavour profile.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, you&rsquo;ll need to allow time to set the cake in the freezer before serving. Decorate with fresh sliced figs and lavender flowers \/ stalks.<\/p>\n<p>Gorgeous!
