Ingredients:

1 cup of coffee (use 1/2 cup if you don’t want a strong coffee flavor)

1 cup raw almonds

1/2 cup cacoa (or cocoa) powder

2-3 eggs (or 5 egg whites).    For a fluffier, less dense, version substitute 6 stiffly beaten egg whites .

1 small vanilla bean (or 1 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract)

5-6 pitted dates ( use 7-8 for sweet taste, use 3-4 for bitter taste). Do not forget to remove the pits!

Mix all ingredients in blender until smooth.  It takes a few minutes in my Nutribullet.  Then transfer contents into small greased baking pan.

Bake cake in oven at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes.  Let cool and sit overnight.  This cake is much better the next day.   It does not need to be refrigerated and will last up to 3 days.

8-10 servings (based on a small serving size).  The cake is dense and rich so a small piece goes along way.

This is a gluten free, dairy free, grain free, and sugar free.

One small serving, (roughly 2 inch by 2 inch slice) has about 180 calories, 7 grams fat, 11 carbs.
