Frosted Honey Butter Cakes...mmm

Delicious! This is easily one of our new favourites, my husband the honey bear just LOVES it.

1 Cup Pitted Dried Dates
1/2 Cup Cashews
1/2 Cup Brazil Nuts
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Tablespoon Desiccated Coconut
A couple pinches of Fleur De Sel (or sea salt)
1/4 Teaspoon Allspice
Dash of Cinnamon
Dash of Nutmeg

Process in a food processor, starting with the nuts and salt (you want the salt to mix in evenly, this is integral-and add them in slowly. Slowly add in the dates, then everything else. Use measuring cups (of any size you like) to form round cakes. Frost (if you want):

180 Ml (3/4 Cup) Dates (dried & pitted)
60 Ml  (1/4 Cup) Dried Mangoes
120 Ml (1/2 Cup) Rice Milk
60 Ml (1/4 Cup) Water
60 Ml (1/4 Cup) raw Carob Powder
4 Tbsp Virgin Coconut Oil
1/2 Tsp Honey or Agave Nectar

Blend on high speed in your blender for several minutes, poking at the top of the mixture with a spatula repeatedly to make air pockets so that the entire mixture gets down to the blades. This takes a while to blend thoroughly but it is very worth it. Once it has a smooth, velvety consistency, frost those cakes...and enjoy! This also would taste great with bananas or strawberries. Mmmm.
