Gluten-free Apple Date Cake
This delicious gluten-free apple date honey cake is the perfect dessert to make for any occasion. It’s fluffy and moist, and filled with warm apple cinnamon flavor. Sweetened with honey and applesauce, and topped with chewy pieces of medjool dates and toasted sliced almonds.
It’s the perfect small sized cake that can be made in an 8″ round pan, or 9 by 5 loaf pan. Its made from a blend of oat flour and almond flour, which gives this dessert the perfect fluffy texture.
I added grated apple and applesauce for the ultimate apple flavor, and sweetened the cake with honey for added richness. This recipe is truly the perfect dessert for Rosh Hashana!
I have a few variations of apple cake on my blog, like my upside down apple cake and apple crumb cake. This version is lightly sweetened, and makes for the perfect snacking cake throughout the day.
