Method

  1. Turn the oven on to 180°C Fan.
  2. Grease and line an 8’x12’ baking dish.
  3. Place the cashews and dates in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water, set aside for a minimum of 20 minutes.
  4. Place all the wet ingredients into a medium bowl, mix well and set aside.
  5. Place all the dry into a large bowl and mix well, you may need to use your fingers to breakdown and rub in the sticky dates, so they are evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the wet into the dry and mix well to combine. It will be a thick batter but should not be dry or crumbly. If it’s a little dry add a tbs or two of pineapple, milk or water.
  7. Empty into the prepared dish and smooth over. Place into the preheated oven for approx. 25-30mins. Check to be sure a skewer comes out clean, or with a few crumbs.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the baking dish.
  9. While the cake is baking or cooling, drain the cashew and dates and add to a high-speed blender, food processor or you can use a stick blender.
  10. Add the remaining ingredients except the extra walnuts. Blend until silky smooth, you made need to scrape down the sides as you go. If the frosting is a little thick, you can add a splash of milk or water to let down a little.
  11. Place the frosting in a small bowl and place in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
  12. When you are ready to server evenly spread the frosting over the cake and cut into 12 squares. Finish with a remaining flurry of crushed walnuts.
