10 steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

  • Let’s get to it! Put the Madame Labriski date puree (the caramel one for extra flavour), applesauce, your choice of plant-based or cow’s milk and the egg in a bowl and stir thoroughly.

  • Now add the caramel extract, baking soda, baking powder and salt. MAGIC! Wait for that little bubbling effect and then mix again.

  • Gradually stir in the following ingredients: spelt, wheat or pastry flour*, cacao powder, pecans, chocolate chips, Skor toffee bits and chia seeds, if desired.

  • Line your springform pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it… if not, everything will stick.

  • Spread the batter in the pan.

  • If you want to go all out and be fancy and really knock daddy’s socks off, you can create a design using pecans and chocolate chips.

  • Bake for about 60 minutes. Allow to cool on a rack.

  • To serve, cut the cake into slices.

  • Mamma mia! Or should I say papa mia?! Can you smell the happiness?

FAQ

Where can I buy Madame Labriski date puree?

At IGA, Rachelle Béry, Marché Tradition and Bonichoix grocery stores across Quebec. My purees contain no preservatives and can be found in the fruit and vegetable section (yes, dates are fruit) near the pre-cut fruit and vegetables. If you can’t find them, simply ask a member of staff!

The recipe calls for a plant-based beverage, can I use regular cow’s milk instead?

Yes, always.

Can I use another type of flour than the one specified in the recipe?

Yes, you can simply use any type of flour you have on hand.

Can I swap chia seeds for flax seeds and vice versa?

Yes, always. You can also use hemp seeds.
