I have created two different versions of this delicious watermelon cake!
One is completely clean, while the other ones icing is not
Either way I say it beat the normal cake! So ---enjoy either one, without guilt!!
First I make the Icing!
Icing Recipe #1
(Healthy Version )
2 cans full fat coconut milk (put in fridge for at least 6 hours a head of time)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbs raw honey
Directions:
Open cans of coconut and scrape out the cream into medium bowl. (you can open can from bottom and pour the milk out into separate container before scraping it out, or you can discard milk)
Add the vanilla and raw honey to mixture
Whip the cream mixture together with a beater until fluffy (about 5 min)
*place in fridge until ready to use*
Icing Recipe #2
(Not so clean icing )
1 large jar of fluff
2 bricks of cream cheese
Directions:
Beat mixture together until blended
How to create the cake ...
Take a medium/large watermelon and slice top and bottom straight across
Then cut around the edges to create a round cake looking watermelon.
Once it is cut- wrap the watermelon in paper towel to absorb the moisture .
This step is very important to keep the icing from sliding off!
Once you have thoroughly absorbed the outside water apply the icing With a spatula.
Then onto decorating the cake!
I used raw sliced almonds on the sides and whatever fresh fruit I had laying around the house!
*Strawberries and raspberries would have been an awesome addition too! *
Once your cake is complete ----put in refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
**Slice and enjoy !!!**
