Ingredients:

Cake:

• 80g coconut yoghurt

• 1 vegan egg alternative (like chia seed egg)
• 230g flour
• 2 tsp ginger
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 75g dark coconut sugar
• 100g pitted dates
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 165ml m*lk
• 115g softened vegan butter
  
  

Sticky Caramel Sauce:

• 60g coconut sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp molasses
• 70ml coconut m*lk
• 40g vegan butter

Biomel-Infused Yoghurt:

• 2 servings of Biomel Complete Gut (Pure Vanilla)
• 2 tbsp of your favourite plant-based yoghurt
  

Method:

1. Chop up the dates and add to a pan on a low heat.
2. Slowly heat up the dates with the m*lk and baking soda until softly broken down.
3. Take off the heat and mash with a fork into a paste and set aside.
4. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line an 8-inch tin. 
5. Stir the softened butter, sugar, salt, and molasses until creamy.
6. Add in the vegan egg substitute, yoghurt, and date paste, mixing well.
7. Sieve in the dry ingredients (spices and flour) until combined. If it looks a little dry, add a splash more m*lk. 
8. Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
9. Meanwhile, make the sauce by melting the butter with sugar, molasses, and salt.
10. Add the coconut m*lk and stir on a low heat until just thickened to coat the spoon.
11. Poke several holes in the cake and pour over 2/3 of the sauce. 
12. Slice and serve with a generous dollop of Biomel-infused yoghurt (recipe below) and add the rest of the sticky sauce.
