“Cheese” Cake This beautiful cake that we found over at (mostly) raw food blog Golubka kinda scares us. We are down for new things and the fresh fruit really makes us want to try this “cheese” cake but we’ll admit the whole “raw” concept is foreign and therefor strange. But what the heck — who knows, maybe a cheesecake made out of cashews, macadamia buts, coconut, and fresh spearmint is amazing. We’re down to find out.
