Make it stand out
Prepare the dates: Soak the pitted dates in warm milk for about 10-15 minutes to soften them. Once softened, blend the dates and milk together until you have a smooth paste.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended date mixture with the avocado oil. Stir until well incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients: Add the almond flour, baking powder, and Zen Basil Seeds to the wet mixture. Mix until everything is well combined and you have a smooth batter.
Prepare the cake pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a cake pan with parchment paper.
Pour and top: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and sprinkle walnuts over the top for added texture and flavor.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and enjoy: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve!
