Step 1

Add the dates, almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt to a food processor and blend until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Spoon out into a large bowl and add all of the other ingredients. Mix together really well. This is quite hard work but it will come together with a bit of elbow grease.

Step 3

Line an 8 x 8-inch metal pan or square ceramic baking dish with parchment paper leaving enough to come up the sides so you can easily lift the cake out when it's done. You can use a 9 x 13-inch pan if you don't mind a really thin cake.

Step 4

Scrape the mixture into the pan and press down really well all over well. Use a spatula or the palm of your hand.

Step 5

Cover and put in the refrigerator to chill for at least 12 hours. then remove from the pan and cut into pieces. Dust with powdered sugar or cocoa powder before serving.
