Cooking method

Step 1:

Let's prep all the components. Some need to be readied in advance. Wash the dried pears and soak them in water for 2 hours. Wash the dates too, pit them, and put them in with the pears to soak. Rinse the pumpkin seeds well. Set the cherries out to thaw if they're frozen; if they're fresh, pit them.
Step 2:

Now take 100 ml of water and dissolve 1 level tablespoon of agar in it. Set it over low heat and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally. Take the agar off the heat and set it aside to cool.
Step 3:

Now for the bottom layer. Drain the water off the dried fruit. Grind the dried fruit and pumpkin seeds through a meat grinder (use the small-hole plate).
Step 4:

Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the resulting mixture and stir. Then add the ground flax to firm up the mixture. Mix everything well. You should get a fairly dense dough that holds its shape.
Step 5:

Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of a springform cake pan. Put the pan in the freezer to set.
Step 6:

Now for the middle layer. Take the bananas and peel them; take 1 avocado, peel it, and remove the pit. Put the avocado, bananas, cocoa, and 2 tablespoons of honey in a blender. Blend it all.
Step 7:

You should get a chocolate mixture with a thick, creamy consistency.
Step 8:

Add the agar-agar, which should have cooled a bit by now. The key is that it shouldn't have started to set. Mix everything quickly and well — you can use a blender for this.
Step 9:

Next, take the pan out of the freezer and spread on the chocolate-banana layer, leveling it carefully and quickly since it will start to set fairly fast. Leave it to cool, then put it in the freezer if it hasn't set enough at room temperature. Put another portion of agar dissolved in water (1 level tablespoon per 100 ml of water) over the heat. Bring it to a boil and leave it to cool.
Step 10:

Meanwhile, on to the top layer. Put the cherries, avocado, and 5 tablespoons of honey in a blender. Blend it all into a smooth mixture; once the agar has cooled to around 50°C, pour it into the cherry mixture and blend again. Then take the pan out of the freezer, pour in the top layer, and level it quickly and carefully. Leave it to cool, and meanwhile decorate the cake however you like. Then you can put it in the freezer for half an hour. And the cake is ready.
