Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
Place sunflower seeds into a food processor or blender and pulse a few times until coarsely ground.
Add hemp seeds, cacao powder, cinnamon, sea salt, and pitted dates. Blend until the mixture starts to come together when pressed. Add maple syrup if needed to help the mixture stick together.
Spoon the mixture into a 6" round cake tin with a removable base. Press tightly and evenly onto the base. Refrigerate while you prepare the layers.
2. Prepare the Chocolate Layer:
Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In a small pot, pour oat cream and stir in agar flakes. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the flakes are dissolved.
Stir in the chopped chocolate until completely melted. Mix in the maple syrup.
Carefully pour the chocolate mixture onto the crust layer. Refrigerate to set for 15-30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Raspberry Layer:
Place raspberries and water into a small pot. Bring to a boil and gently simmer for 5-10 minutes until broken down and mushy.
Press the mixture through a mesh sieve to remove seeds. Measure 1 cup (240 ml) of raspberry liquid and return it to the pot.
Add oat cream, maple syrup, and agar flakes. Stir well and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the flakes are dissolved.
Remove from heat and let cool before carefully pouring over the set chocolate layer. Refrigerate to set for another 15-30 minutes.
4. Assemble and Serve:
Gently remove the cake from the tin and place onto a cake stand.
Top with fresh raspberries, seasonal berries, and chocolate shards before serving.
