Ingredients

cooking spray
1 cup almond milk
1 tablespoon white vinegar
½ cup applesauce
6 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
½ cup almond meal
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup date syrup
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup almond meal
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
Combine almond milk and vinegar in a blender. Let stand until curdled, about 10 minutes. Add applesauce, dates, and vanilla extract; blend until smooth.
Mix whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup almond meal, baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Pour in date mixture and stir until batter is combined.
Mix date syrup, walnuts, 1 cup almond meal, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a bowl to make topping.
Spread 1/2 of the batter in the prepared pan. Drop 1/2 of the topping evenly over the batter. Spread remaining batter on top. Swirl batter and topping together with a butter knife. Drop remaining topping on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
