Instructions:
Prepare the crust of the cake by mixing the dates or date paste, the instant oats and the water. This should result in a thick dough that we’ll place and spread evenly at the bottom of the round cake form (we used a cake form with the diameter of 26 cm), gently pushing it in. To prepare the first layer, blend the thick part of the coconut milk, the pre-soaked cashew nuts and the protein powder. Keep mixing until smooth. Pour the resulting mix onto the cake crust. At this point, store the cake in the refrigerator for several hours, for both parts to solidify. Meanwhile, start preparing the second layer. Melt the chocolate together with the liquid part of the coconut milk. Once the cake with the first layer on has solidified, pour and spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top of the cake. Place the cake into the refrigerator for a few hours. Once the cake is firm, cut it into 12 slices, serve & enjoy!
