Raw version of infamous chocolate beetroot cake

I got the inspiration to have a go at making a raw adaption of a delicious vegan gluten free chocolate hazelnut cake I used to make for super special ocassions.   
--
1 medium smallish beetroot that Joel's mum grew 
Blended with a little water 
And a good handful of juicy raisins and a banana
In a bowl mix with
Carob powder
A handful of chopped dates
a little salt and lemon juice
A tablespoon of melted coconut oil
2-3 tablespoons of freshly cracked and ground hazelnuts 
And dessicated coconut
To form into a soft 'cake' mixture 
Press into tart pan top with crushed hazelnuts and chill (to set)

Amazing morning tea

Today I'm at 'Complete Urban Farmer' school at Ceres. We are learning about soil. I am completely amazed by how many parallels there are with soil nutrition and health and that of our own bodies - human biochemical, nutritional and physiological processes are so similiar to how soil works, and how soil works in relation to plants, the sun and atmosphere. I guess there are lots of people thinking and operating on this level but it's quite a revolution for me.
A woman in my class brought along an incredibly beautiful Orange and tangelo cake to share for morning tea. Organic, home grown, made with love and gentle consideration in a homely kitchen. An impressively yellow appearance due to the healthy eggs of her backyard bantums. It was something of an immense joy to eat something so eggy and buttery and soft and crumbly. it's texture was like that of a perfect loamy soil...I appreciated the treat.
