No-bake Fruit Cake – Date, Fig and Almond Cake Recipe

The dates give this cake a lovely fudgey texture and a fruity caramel-like taste. The splash of vanilla and Cognac add to the richness of the dried fruits.

I have quite a few date cake recipes and as well as dried fig recipes but I didn’t have a cake that brought these lovely fruits together. Not having to bake it was a added bonus too.

The combination of dried fruits and a splash of cognac means that this cake would work fantastically well with a cheese plate.

And it’s a safe bet if you are entertaining as it’s gluten and dairy free and made without egg.
