2 cups Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1 cup almond flour (or regular all-purpose flour) Substitute ideas: use whole wheat or oat flour for different flavors.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly to help with easy removal later.
In a food processor, combine the chopped dates with a splash of water and pulse until you attain a smooth and sticky paste.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the date paste. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the almond flour and baking powder until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

This cake is free from processed sugars and can be personalized with various toppings like chopped nuts, coconut shavings, or honey.
