Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180

Add tropical fruit mince, almond meal, arrowroot, baking
powder, cinnamon and chopped almonds to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine

Add and chia to a blender and blend until smooth then
add to the mixture in the large bowl. Stir until it is completely combined then
spoon into the Bundt tin and bake for 55-60 minutes. Checking at about 40-45
minutes as different sized cake tins and oven can change the length of time
needed for baking.

Rinse and drain cashews then add to a small blender such as the tribest personal blender as you will need a good quality one to achieve a really smooth frosting.

add the rest of the ingredients but only add 1 tbs of water and blend until it becomes super smooth and creamy. If it's not turned and seems too dry then add another tablspoon of water until it is just turn.

Shake the blender up and down to help move the mix as you don't want to have to add too much water or it will be too runny for the cake. Remember it will firm up in the fridge once the oils harden.

Let cool and thicken before pouring over the cool cake. Let it gently drizzle down the sides then get it back into the fridge as soon as possible so that the frosting sets.
