Ingredients
- 8 Natural Delights Medjool Dates
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
- 2 cups all purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk whole, 2% or plain plant-based
- 1/2 cup oil neutral flavor such as grapeseed or avocado oil
- 1 cup Tahini
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a bundt cake pan with nonstick spray and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Cut the dates open with a small knife and remove the pits. Chop them and mix with the walnuts and 2 tablespoons all purpose flour. Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl whisk 2 cups of flour with baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl beat the eggs with sugar for 5 minutes until foamy and light in color. Add in the milk, oil and tahini. Mix again for a minute so all is combined. Add in the cinnamon and mix again for a minute.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low until all is well incorporated. Make sure not to overmix.
- Fold in the date and walnut mix into the cake batter using a spatula.
- Transfer the cake batter into the pan. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate.
Notes
- Leftovers: Store the leftovers in an airtight container and keep at room temperature for a day or in the fridge for up to one week.
- Freeze: Wrap each cake slice individually and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Gluten free: Use 1:1 gluten free flour.
- Nuts: Leave out the walnuts or use other nuts such as hazelnuts or almonds.
