- 1 чашку Миндальное молоко - lukewarm (note 3)

- 1 чайной ложки Экстракт ванили
- 2 ¼ чашки Мука общего назначения - (примечание 5)
- ½ чашку Не сладкий какао порошок
- ½ чашку Кокосовый сахар - (note 6) Optional – recommended for a sweeter cake
- 1 чайной ложки Пищевая сода
- 1 чайной ложки Выпечка порошок

- ½ чашку Миндальное молоко
- 8 Финики маджхоль - рябой
- 3 столовые ложки Миндальное масло - (примечание 7)
- ¾ чашку Чипсы из темного шоколада - (примечание 8)
- 1 столовая ложка Не сладкий какао порошок
инструкции
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with lightly oiled parchment paper. Set aside.
- Pit the dates if they are not pitted. Measure or weigh them after they have been pitted. Discard the pit. Place the pitted dates in a large glass bowl.
- In a saucepan, add water and almond milk, cover with a lid, warm over medium heat, and bring to a low boil.
- Remove from the heat, and immediately pour the warm liquid over the pitted dates, and cover the bowl with a large plate. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, and baking powder until well combined. Set aside.
- Bring back the bowl with the dates and lukewarm liquid. Pour everything in a high-speed blender and blend on high speed until smooth.
- Pour the lukewarm date mixture in the bowl with the dry ingredients, and add oil, and vanilla extract.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently stir and combine everything together until smooth and consistent.
- Pour the cake batter in the prepared pan.
- Bake in the center rack of the oven for 40-45 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs on it, meaning the cake is baked, but still moist.
- Let the cake cool down for 10 minutes in the pan at room temperature, then on a cooling rack for 3 hours before frosting.
Глазурь
- In a saucepan, add chocolate chips, almond butter, almond milk, and pitted dates.
- Bring over medium heat, and stir until the chocolate chips are melted. The dates won't dissolve, but the warm mixture softens the dates, and that's the goal of adding them to the pan now. It takes a few minutes to melt.
- Remove from the heat, pour into a food processor, add the cocoa powder, and process on high speed.
- Stop the food processor a few times, scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula, and repeat until most of the dates are blended and turned into a smooth frosting – you will always have tiny bits of dates, and that's ok.
- Spread over the cooled cake.
Заметки
Питание
Ингредиенты и замены
You only need a handful of simple ingredients to make this recipe. Here’s how to pick and swap them.

- Финики маджхоль – These are the key ingredient of the cake, providing natural sweetness, moisture, and a lovely chewy texture. You can also count them for consistent measurement.
- Кипяченая вода – This helps soften the dates, allowing them to blend into a smooth paste for the cake batter.
- Миндальное молоко – This adds liquid to the batter, contributing to the cake’s moistness and consistency. Soy milk, coconut milk, or oat milk also work well.
- Оливковое масло светлое – This contributes to the cake’s tender crumb and overall moisture. Any low-flavor oil, such as melted refined coconut oil or canola oil, works too.
- Экстракт ванили – To bring more flavors to the cake, it goes really well with the chocolate and dates.
- Мука общего назначения – This is the base of the batter, giving it a soft and fluffy texture. Whole wheat flour or white spelt flour are also good options. For a gluten-free version, use my gluten-free conversion guide.
- Не сладкий какао порошок – This provides the rich chocolate flavor and a dark color for the cake and frosting.
- Пищевая сода – This leavening agent reacts with the dates’ natural acidity to help the cake rise.
- Выпечка порошок – This also contributes to the cake rising, making a light and airy texture.
- Кокосовый сахар – This is an optional sweetener for the cake, allowing you to adjust the sweetness level to your preference. Other granulated sugars, like brown sugar, are fine, or you can skip it entirely.
- Миндальное масло – This adds richness and helps create a smooth, creamy texture for the frosting. Peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter are great alternatives.
- Чипсы из темного шоколада – These are melted into the frosting, providing a decadent chocolate flavor and richness. You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips or opt for 70% or 85% chocolate for a less sweet frosting.
How to Make Date Chocolate Cake
Let me show you how to make this delicious cake in a few pictures.

Heat the milk and water for 10 minutes in a pan before pouring on the pitted dates and transferring the lot into a blender.

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, pour the date mixture, and stir to combine.

Pour the batter into a baking pan and bake it for 40-45 minutes at 350°F (180°C).

Add the frosting ingredients to a saucepan. Heat it, add the cocoa powder, and process in a food processor. Spread over the cake.
Carine’s Baking Tips
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect date chocolate cake.
- Choose Medjool Dates – For the best results, always use Medjool dates. Their thick, rich texture and flavor are ideal for both the cake and the frosting.
- Accurate Date Measurement – After pitting your dates, make sure to measure them precisely by weight or by lightly packing them into measuring cups. Medjool dates have a consistent size, so counting them is also a reliable method.
- Не смешивайте слишком много – Once you combine the wet and dry ingredients, stir just until everything is smooth and consistent. Overmixing can lead to a tougher cake texture.
- Проверить готовность – When baking, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. It should come out with just a few moist crumbs, indicating the cake is baked through but still wonderfully moist.
- Круто полностью – Allow the cake to cool fully on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before you even think about frosting it. Frosting a warm cake will cause the frosting to melt and slide right off.
- Adjust Frosting Sweetness – If you prefer a less sweet frosting, use chocolate chips with a higher cocoa percentage (like 70% or 85% dark chocolate) for the frosting.
- Optional Frosting – The date frosting is absolutely delicious, but if you’re short on time or prefer a simpler cake, you can skip the frosting entirely. You can also use my classic Dairy-Free Chocolate Frosting рецепт.






I made this today and it’s delicious. I made a few changes and I didn’t added the frosting.Thank you!
Вот внесенные мной изменения:
I replaced flour with 1 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp golden whole wheat flour
Несладкое соевое молоко
1/3 cup maple syrup instead of coconut sugar (next time I’ll use less maple syrup, it was a little too sweet for my liking.
That’s sounds lovely! Thanks for sharing.
Made this tonight and it’s absolutely scrumptious! The frosting was thick and fudgy! Definitely worth bringing the Cuisinart for!!!
That’s so nice to hear that!
Hi there, your cake looks very light and springy, what would you recommend to use if having to GF this recipe please? It’s tricky as making it GF often makes it have less lift and it ends up being more dense…
