I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Preheat oven 180 deg fan forced. Line a 20cm round cake tin.
Grind almonds and 200g walnuts on sp 9 for 10 sec. Add remaining walnuts and chop on sp 4 for 2 sec until broken, you want small chunks.
Melt coconut butter on 100 deg 1 min 30 sec sp 1. Add dates, bananas, maple syrup, cacao and baking powder and mix on sp 6 for 20 sec. Add almonds and walnuts and mix on reverse sp 4 for 15 sec until combined. Mixture should be a reasonably thick cake batter.
Place in lined cake tin. Bake 40-50 mins or until a skewer comes out with crumbs but not wet. It may still look a little soft but will firm as it cools.
Allow to COMPLETELY cool in tin.
Ensure thermomix bowl, blade and butterfly are thoroughly washed and placed in fridge or freezer until chilled, approx 10 mins.
Remove bowl and coconut cream from fridge, pour off coconut water and reserve for a smoothie or other recipe. Add the thick coconut cream only, vanilla and maple syrup, beat with butterfly for 30 sec on sp 4, check if it can be scooped otherwise mix again for 10 sec and check again. Place in a container in fridge until ready to use.
This will not work if you use coconut cream with emulsifiers or additives.
Ice cooled cake with the Maple Coconut Cream swirled on top and a sprinkle of walnuts.
Or warm cake and serve with a scoop of maple coconut cream, drizzled with extra maple syrup and sprinkled with walnuts. It is better to serve it warmed again after fully cooling as it allows the flavours to develop and the cake to stabilize and become firmer.
This cake tastes even better the next day. Store in the fridge.

Tip
This recipe is gluten free, vegan, paleo, egg free, dairy free, processed cane sugar free and absolutely delicious!
You could use 300g almonds for the 'flour' and 100g walnuts for crunch, I just made it this way because I had lots of walnuts. You could also subsitute the maple syrup for honey if you wanted to, probably just use a little less honey.
Coconut Cream must be chilled for a few hours or overnight, I just keep a few cans in my fridge for recipes like these.
