Riga Workshop Offers No-Bake, Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Raw Cakes for Christmas

RawCake.lv, a Riga workshop that has made raw cakes for several years without baking, gluten, dairy or refined sugar, is receiving an especially large number of orders ahead of Christmas. The cakes suit people who avoid gluten or dairy products and are available to both private customers and businesses. The information was published as an advertorial.

What a raw cake is

A raw cake is made without an oven. The base is built from nuts and dates, while the cream is made from nuts, coconut milk, fruit and berries. The cake contains no flour, eggs or dairy, so it can also be served to guests with lactose intolerance. Many of the cakes are vegan as well.

Customers can choose the base: with coconut butter it is creamier and more filling, while with agar it is lighter and jelly-like.

Flavours and prices

The catalogue includes around twenty flavours. In the holiday season the most frequently ordered are a chocolate cake with dark chocolate, hazelnuts and almonds; a raw version of the Medovik honey cake with natural honey and almond cream; a mild coconut Raffaello cake; and a cranberry cake.

A 1 kg cake (about 16 cm) serves 6–8 guests and costs from €45. For larger celebrations, up to 3 kg can be ordered. A greeting can be written on the cake, and a bouquet of fresh flowers can be ordered with it.

For companies and how to order

The workshop also makes cakes for corporate events and offices. Several flavours can be ordered for one event, and payment can be made by invoice to the company. The cakes also work as gifts for clients and business partners.

Orders are accepted on the website rawcake.lv at least 2 days in advance, though ordering early is advised before Christmas. Cakes are delivered in Riga, the Riga region, Mārupe and Jūrmala at a chosen time, from €8.95 in Riga. Orders can also be collected free of charge in Riga at Lāčplēša iela 35.
