If you can't find raw cacao powder, regular cocoa powder is fine to use.
Mousse Icing
Ingredients

30g (1/4 cup) raw cacao powder
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
60ml (1/4 cup) coconut cream
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Method
Place all the icing ingredients into a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth
If you like a soft whipped consistency for icing then use as it is on the cooled cake, or if you prefer a firmer icing, place into the fridge for about an hour and then ice the cooled cake
