This decadent [chocolate peanut cake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-bert) is made with natural ingredients, tastes great and remains conveniently dairy-free. Unlike a traditional cake recipe, this paleo cake doesn't require any baking. Instead, the cake is made more like a pie with a crust made from raw cashews, almonds, cocoa powder and coconut sugar topped with a filling made from peanut butter, coconut milk, sunflower putter and powdered gelatin. Once the filling has chilled in the pie crust, you can top it with a homemade [dairy-free whipped cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rooting-for-you-carrot-cake-slices) and drizzled chocolate. The lack of dairy in the recipe means this dessert is lower in fat content and easier on the stomach to digest. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Paleo Desserts:** As more people adopt paleo diets, there is an opportunity for food companies to create innovative and delicious paleo-friendly desserts. - **Dairy-free Alternatives:** The growing demand for dairy-free alternatives presents an opportunity for companies to create new products or improve existing ones. - **Natural Ingredients:** Consumers are increasingly seeking out natural, unprocessed ingredients, creating opportunities for companies to innovate in this space. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** As the popularity of paleo diets grows, there is an opportunity for food and beverage companies to create new products that cater to this trend. - **Health and Wellness:** The trend towards natural ingredients and dairy-free alternatives aligns with the growing health and wellness industry, with opportunities for companies to create products that support a healthy lifestyle. - **Culinary and Hospitality:** Restaurants and hotels can cater to the growing demand for paleo-friendly and dairy-free desserts by offering innovative and delicious options on their menus. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Peanut Butter Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loveraw-peanut-butter-cups.md) - [Cotton Candy Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cotton-candy-cake.md) - [Keto-Friendly Peanut Butter Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-keto.md) - [Guilt-Free Vegan Cheesecakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culiraw.md) - [Creamy Peanut Butter Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-madness.md) - [Peanut Flour Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pb2-pantry.md) - [Allergy-Friendly Celebration Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-love.md) - [Creamy Cashew Butter Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashew-butter-bar.md) - [Nutty Chocolate Layer Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-bert.md)
