It sounds amazing and your rainbow rosettes are gorgeous!
@SandraSmiley - thanks! I was super suprised it tasted so “un-datey”!!! It’s also ridiculously easy. If you ever wanna try it, just holler and I’ll send ya the recipe.
Actually, I would love to try it. I am intrigued by a nice cake made without grains or sugar.
Oh, but I love dates, so if it was very datey (I made a new work, haha), I wouldn't mind.
Can’t take credit for this recipe, my friend said she found It online somewhere...I just added vanilla almond butter and salt. It’s so easy and delicious!!
Okay, here goes:
1 cup pitted Medjool dates
1/2 cup water
3 eggs
1 cup vanilla almond butter
1 t vanilla
3/4 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
-purée dates with water in food processor.
-Then add eggs and purée some more.
-Then add everything else and puree until it’s smooth. THAT’S IT!!
- I purée into 2 greased 6” pans...my friend said she did one 9” pan?!?!
-bake at 350 for about 22-25 minutes.
@SandraSmiley - Put into pan...not purée into pan :)
Thanks you, MerMadeBakedGoods! I can't wait to try it. I've never heard of vanilla almond butter; not sure if our markets carry it, but I will look.
@sandraSmiley- the brand is Justin’s. But if you use regular almond butter you just add more extract!!
you can also use peanut butter (which i love), but then the result is definitely peanut butter cake, or a sweet vanilla earthy flavor.
Thanks! I am sure one of the markets will have it. It sounds so good, with peanut butter too!
