Chocolate Cake

Ingredients
NB a blender is essential for this recipe, but a simple handheld 'stick' blender as shown in the pictures below is good enough.
200g prunes or dates (dates are sweeter)
4 eggs
200 g ground almonds
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon orange flavouring/essence
1 teaspoon vanilla essence/flavouring
100g butter (replace with oil if you are avoiding dairy)
50g cocoa powder
OPTIONAL
4-5 dessertspoons coconut milk/kefir
1 or 2 blocks of sugar free chocolate sweetened with any of the following: stevia, xylitol, isomalt, sorbitol or isomalt)
Method
1 Blend the dried fruit to a paste. NB if you are using a handheld stick blender, soften the fruit first by soaking it in hot water for 5 minutes, then blend in a tall container, as bits will fly out a little way.
2 Add the eggs, blending in one by one:

3 Blend in the ground almonds:

4 Melt the butter and the cocoa in a pan, and add the orange and vanilla essence:

5 Blend this mixture into the main cake mix:

6 Now taste it. It will be heavier than the consistency of 'normal' cake mix. Add coconut milk or kefir to taste.
7 Cook at 150 degrees for about 35 - 45 minutes.
