Raw magic carrot cake dedicated to the Permablitz'ers

Three layers of situational invention. I made a pie cake pudding slice thing this morning to take to Lex's permablitz today. It was a two hour culinary journey, in that way that things take on their own sense of time when you start cooking before you have woken up fully. On rising I began dreaming up this creation. Investigating, experimenting and getting feedback from the pie and from other humans inhabiting the kitchen, just like the conversation dancing or any other method of communication. I kept thinking about the magical consistancy powers of coconut oil but didn't have any so looked for other ways of making.

base
-
a cup of almonds (fresh, raw, from farmers market)
5 or 6 medjool dates
a few spoons of thick chia gel (black chia seed soaked in water, but not too much)
ground Ginger
pinch of salt
-
carrot layer
-
a cup or so, maybe it was two cups, of tiny baby Dutch carrots (grown on the peninsula) blended in food processor or grated
1/2 white chia seed ground in mortar and pestle and soaked in a little water so becomes thick gel
a few handfuls of golden raisins chopped
lemon juice
1/2 coconut flakes
ground Ginger, cinnamon, pimento
a couple of pistachios
-
cream layer
-
1/2 cup soaked almonds with skins removed
1/2 a mango and 1/2 a passionfruit (the other halves got eaten as breakfast while I worked away on the cake)
a banana
spoon of lucuma powder

I forgot to take a photo at the end. It looked quite beautiful covered in the greens and pinks of broken pistachio nut pieces (raw, from farmers market), a few juicy golden raisins and three fleshy white flowers from my lemon tree.
I froze it for a few hours but it had quite a soft consistancy. It was really lovely to share with so many people that I didn't know, food being first introduction is a very delicious one. It was a very inspiring event to be apart of, and find ways to contribute to. Harray for growing vegetables, gardening, soil, air, water, love, community and permaculture being such an expansive wholistic idea that is so much more than tilling soil, but nutrition love health and connection on all levels. And as Lex said just on dark 'all people are plants and all plants are animals.'
