Decadent Date and Cashew Chocolate Cake

Decadent Date and Cashew Chocolate Cake
This irresistible chocolate cake is my go-to for impressing guests without spending hours in the kitchen. The dates provide a luscious caramel-like sweetness, while the toasted cashews add a delightful crunch. It's wonderfully dense yet not heavy, with slightly crisp edges and a fudgy center that will make your kitchen smell absolutely divine. A sprinkle of sea salt on top is the perfect finishing touch. You won't even miss the frosting – I guarantee this cake will disappear in no time at your next gathering.
Ingredients
  • 200 grams soaked cashew nuts (2 cups)
  • 150 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (1 1/2 cups)
  • 170 grams honey or vegan sweetener (1/2 cup)
  • 100 grams coconut oil (1/2 cup)
  • 120 grams fresh dates, chopped (12 pitted)
  • 120 milliliters water (1/2 cup)
  • 2 grams salt (1/4 teaspoon)
Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and set aside.

2. In a blender or food processor, combine the dates, honey or vegan sweetener, and coconut oil. Blend until smooth.

3. Add the soaked cashew nuts, cocoa powder, and salt to the blender. Blend until well combined.

4. Pour the mixture into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

5. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Dust with additional cocoa powder and a sprinkle of sea salt, if desired.

7. Handle the hot springform pan with care to avoid burns.
