Hey team,
Can't remember where this recipe is from but I made it this week & it was good! Would recommend serving with ice cream or yogurt to go with the chocolate 😊
Combine:
- 8 chopped dates
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
Blend until smooth, then mix in:
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup almond flour (recipe asked for chestnut flour but I substituted)
- 1.5 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 tsp cinnamon
Finally, add:
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 2 tsp orange zest
Bake at 180°C for ~30 mins, a knife should come out clean. Top with chocolate ganache:
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup milk (I used canned coconut milk)
Melt these together & mix until smooth. It's a bit runny so wait until cool enough to spread on cake (I didn't and it got a little messy 😅)
Pictured: half of the cake left after 2 days...I may have had like 2 pieces a day lol
