Fig, date and almond meal healthy cake

On our anniversary this year, I wanted to bake a cake, but I wanted it to be something special and healthy. I came upon several recipes without flour. I was interested in most paleo diet special cakes. I stumbled upon the following cake recipe and decided to make it.

Adapted from: greenkitchenstories (chocolate nut and date cake)

1/2 cup fresh soft medjool-like dates, pitted

½ cup dried figs (soaked in water)
1 cup raw almonds or almond meal
1 block 80% dark chocolate, coarsely chopped

1 organic egg
1 organic orange, juice and zest
2 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
1 tsp extra virgin coconut oil, melted
1 handful fresh or thawed strawberries

Preheat the oven to 340F/175°C. Place raw almonds in a food processor and pulse until you have a fine textured flour. If you are using almond meal, then you can skip this step. Then add the dates and soaked figs and mix until well mashed. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir with a large spoon to combine. Pour the batter in a greased pan and bake for 40-50 minutes. Let the cake cool slightly before removing the pan. Serve with berries.
