Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/ 180 degrees C.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients using a whisk. Set aside.
Add eggs, dates, applesauce, and coconut oil in a blender. Then blend until you get a brown paste. Make sure all the dates are completely disintegrated.
Add the wet date mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch prepared round baking pan.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean—check at 45 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan. Enjoy!

Add dark chocolate chips: I love the sugar-free ones from Lily's for a nice chocolate twist. Add them to the date cake batter before baking.

Top with whip cream or sugar-free homemade ice cream: Perfect if you're going for an extra indulgent dessert. Vanilla flavor or anything banana-based will work refreshingly well with the sweetness of the dates.

Drizzle with a toffee sauce or sugar powder for a decadent finish, maybe for the Holidays? Then, drizzle the date cake with warm toffee sauce or a dulce de latte. A little goes a long way.

At room temperature: Let the moist cake cool completely, place it in an airtight container, and store it at room temperature for up to 3 days.
In the refrigerator: For longer storage, store it in the refrigerator. Cover the cake with parchment paper and store it in an airtight container for up to a week. However, refrigeration can cause the cake to dry out faster, so it's best to eat it as soon as possible.
In the freezer: Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, place it in an airtight container or freezer bag, and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat the cake, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.
