Date and walnut cake
A dense date and walnut cake, sweetened only with the fruit.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted dates, chopped (170 g / 6 oz)
- 1 cup hot water (240 g / 8½ oz)
- 1 cup almond flour (96 g / 3½ oz)
- 1 cup gluten-free oat flour (90 g / 3¼ oz)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (100 g / 3½ oz)
- 1 tsp baking soda (5 g)
- 1 tsp baking powder (4 g)
- 2 eggs (100 g / 3½ oz)
- ¼ cup coconut oil (51 g / 1¾ oz)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease a cake pan.
- Put the chopped dates and baking soda in a bowl. Pour the hot water over them and let them sit for 10 minutes — this softens the dates and activates the baking soda.
