Cottage Cake -- gluten free, sugar free, grain free, delicious

It's always some kinda crazy slapped together cake here. The sweetness is only from chopped dates and raisins, so it's not a sweetness that homogeneous throughout the whole cake. However, the dark chocolate flavour of the raw cacao and the shredded coconut juxtapose nicely with the sweetness of the dates and raisins. Good for dessert, good for breakfast. Good for you.

2 cups water
1/4 cup coconut oil

3 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp sea salt

1 cup raisins
