Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Grease a 20 cm (8-inch) bundt pan with butter to ensure your cake doesn’t stick while baking. -
Prepare the Dried Apricots and Dates
In a food processor, combine the dried apricots and pitted dates. Pulse until finely chopped, ensuring the fruits are broken down into small pieces. -
Blend Wet Ingredients
Add the almond milk and vegetable oil to the processor with the fruit mixture. Continue blending until the mixture becomes thick and smooth. -
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate large bowl, sift the whole wheat flour and baking powder together to remove any lumps. Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the flour mixture. If you’re using vanilla extract, you can add 1 teaspoon instead. -
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the wet fruit mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently to combine until a thick, smooth batter forms. At this point, add the dark chocolate chips and mix them in evenly using a spatula. -
Prepare for Baking
Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. -
Bake the Cake
Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 70-75 minutes at 180Β°C (350Β°F), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Make sure to check the cake with a toothpick around the 70-minute mark, as oven temperatures can vary. -
Cool and Serve
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, turn it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. -
Enjoy
Your sugar-free apricot and date bundt cake is now ready to be served! Itβs perfect as an afternoon snack or a light dessert for any occasion.
