Straight up! This slice took me five minutes to make so don't sweat how hard it is... it isn't.Since taking hold of my new Vitamix a couple of weeks ago I've been chomping to make some new raw recipes.  You see, I kind of 'raw-caked' myself out a while back when I was immersed in the making of 'Sweet - A collection of clean and classy sweet recipes for the health conscious cook'.I don't I could have eaten another raw cake for a year. But hey... I'm back and what did I miss?EVERYTHING.That taste, that smooth smooth texture. The flavour.Phwaor.
