Makes 1 6 inch 2 layer cake

 

2 6-inch cake pans

 

Cake:

1 1/2 cups quinoa flour (or all-purpose gluten-free flour)

1 1/2　tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 cup packed soft Medjool dates, pitted, soaked in water for 30 minutes and 1/2 cup of the water reserved

1/4 cup avocado oil or olive oil

1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup filtered water

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

 

Frosting:

1 1/4 cups pitted Medjool dates, soaked in water for 30 minutes, and　1 cup of the water reserved

3/4 cup raw walnut butter or raw almond butter

3/4　cup cacao powder

pinch sea salt

 

Caramel:

1 cup pitted Medjool dates

3 Tbsp raw pecan butter

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Pinch sea salt

1/3 cup filtered water

¾ cup finely shredded, dried coconut

 

¼ cup chopped  dark chocolate

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 375F.

 

Press parchment paper into two six-inch-diameter cake pans with two-inch-high edges on the bottom.

Grease the parchment paper and the pan's edges carefully to keep the cake from sticking. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt well in a large bowl.

 

The dates, oil, water, vanilla extract, and saved water should all be combined in a blender and blended until smooth. Mix the mixed mixture into the flour mixture until well combined, whisking. Once you've added the cider vinegar, stir until bubbles form.

 

Transfer the cake batter to the ready-made pans and bake for approximately half an hour, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Place the pan of cakes on a rack to cool completely after about an hour.

 

Cut down the sides of the pan to release. After the cakes are on a plate, take off the parchment paper. Let cool completely.

 

Prepare the frosting in the meantime by adding all the ingredients to a high-speed blender and processing until smooth. Because dates and nut butter can differ in moisture content, adjust the frosting by adding a bit more cocoa powder if it looks too thin or a little more water if it seems too thick. Set aside.

 

To make the caramel, combine all the ingredients, excluding the coconut, in a high-speed blender and mix until smooth.

 

Stir in coconut and blend thoroughly. Place the second cake layer on top of the first and spread the leftover icing down the sides and over the top of the cake. Dredge the remaining caramel over the top of the cake.

Pour the melted chocolate over the cake after melting it over a double boiler (I got mine out of a ziplock bag with a corner cut off). To firm the chocolate, place it in the refrigerator.

 

 

To assemble, place one layer of cake on a tray, then cover with half of the caramel and a 1/2-inch layer of frosting.
