Instead of the usual eggs and butter, they use ripe bananas to bind everything together. And look, a splash of olive oil keeps it moist and light. You’ve got natural sweetness from chopped dates and dried apricots mixed into the batter. No refined sugar here—just sweet fruit and a handful of chocolate chips for an extra flavor boost. And the result? Way way better without overpowering the cake.

Whole wheat flour adds a rustic, homemade feel and a tender crumb—making each bite satisfying and slightly chewy. Many in Italy are turning to these healthy swaps.

Italian home bakers love that it feels indulgent yet is packed with fiber, using only natural sweeteners from the fruit.

The golden color from the apricots gives the loaf a warm appearance. And when it comes out of the oven, you get that crispy edge—tempting you to go back for more.

Preparation

How to prepare Apricot and Date Sugar-Free Bundt Cake

To prepare the apricot and date sugar-free Bundt cake, place the dried apricots and pitted dates in a food processor equipped with steel blades 1. Add the almond milk 2 and the seeds from half a vanilla bean 3 and start blending.

Then pour in the vegetable oil 4 and blend again to obtain a creamy and homogeneous mixture. At this point add the eggs 5 and blend until they are completely absorbed, this time at low speed. Finally, add the whole wheat flour and baking powder 6 and blend again for a few seconds.

When you have obtained a thick and homogeneous mixture 7, transfer it to a bowl and add the chocolate chips 8, then mix with a spatula. Butter a 20 cm diameter bundt pan and pour the mixture inside 9. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 70-75 minutes (we always recommend checking based on your oven).

Once baked (always do the toothpick test), let it cool slightly 10 before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely 11. Your apricot and date sugar-free Bundt cake is ready to be enjoyed 12!

Storage

The apricot and date sugar-free Bundt cake can be stored at room temperature for 2 days, covered with a glass dome. If you prefer, you can freeze it after baking, making sure to let it thaw for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator and then at room temperature.

Tip

You can replace the dates and apricots with other types of dried fruit, maintaining the same weight. If you don't have a food processor, you can mix dry and liquid ingredients with a whisk and chop the dates and apricots very finely to add to the batter.
