Use mazafati dates if you can source them for this dairy-free treat.William MeppemTime:30 mins - 1 hourServes:8
This dairy-free,spiced coconut cake keeps extremely well and is sweetened with unrefined sugar and dates. I've used fresh Iranian mazafati dates,although they're not strictly"fresh"as they have dried a little and darkened on the skin. The dates have an intense sweetness and should feel slightly puffy when you squeeze them.
