Yields12 ServingsPrep Time3 hrs 15 minsCook Time40 minsTotal Time3 hrs 55 mins

A totally vegan, sugar-less, egg-less & butter-less date & walnut cake. It is a perfect guilt-free tea time snack.

 30 seedless dates
 1 ¼ cups almond or coconut milk
 1 cup all purpose flour
 ½ cup oil (any neutral oil will do)
 1 tsp baking powder
 ¼ tsp baking soda
 2 ½ tbsp walnuts (or any other nut)
1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F. Place 27 out of the 30 dates in a bowl with the almond/coconut milk. Leave them to soak for at least 3 hours. Once they finish soaking, blend them together with the milk till it forms a thick paste.

2

In another bowl, measure out the flour, baking powder & baking soda. Sieve well and set aside.

3

Chop up the remaining dates. Toast the walnuts and break them up into smaller pieces.

4

Mix the date paste along with the oil either by hand, a hand mixer or a stand mixer. Make sure the oil is emulsified well into the date paste. Then add in the toasted walnuts and chopped dates.

5

Add the flour in one tablespoon at a time. Fold it into the date mixture slowly but do not over-mix at this stage.

6

Pour the batter into a baking dish which is lined with parchment paper. Smoothen it out with a spatula. Place in the oven and bake for around 40 minutes till the cake springs back when you touch it.
