1. For the frosting, start by blending all the ingredients listed in your high speed blender & set aside.

2. To make the cake part, blend in your food processor until well incorporated and crumbly.

3. Press into 2 lightly oiled 6" cake tins. Place in a dehydrator for 8-12 hours on 125 degrees. Serve with cinnamon cream cheese frosting!

If you don’t have a dehydrator you can skip this step and refrigerate for an hour.
