Instructions

  1. Line two 6 inch pans with parchment or grease really well. Preheat the oven to 350 deg F 180 C

  3. In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients, whisk well.
  4. Add the wet to the dry and mix to combine. If the mixture is too flowy, add a tbsp or so more flour.
  5. Pour into pans, even it out, and bake for 25 to 28 mins. Check from the center of the pan. Cool for 5 mins, then remove from pan. Let cool completely under a light towel before frosting.

  2. The whisk well until well combined and smooth, Chill for 15 to 30 mins until desired thick consistency.
  3. Add a dollop of the frosting on the first layer and spread. Place the second cake on top. Add another dollop and spread then spread the rest of the frosting all over. Add sprinkles, roasted hazelnuts, or chocolate shavings on top. Serve with whipped coconut cream or vanilla ice cream.Store on the counter for the day. Store refrigerated for upto 5 days. 

Notes

  • *You can reduce the dates to half if you dont like the flavor, use 3/4 cup water to blend and use 1/2 cup total sugar instead of the first 3 ingredients in the cake. Add 1 tbsp applesauce or non dairy yogurt.
  • ** In the ganache, use 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup non dairy milk instead of dates and 1/2 cup milk.

  • For a regular cake, use This cake batter to bake into 2 pans.
