Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8″x8″ pan with a sheet of parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Set this aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Add the dry mix to the wet and mix just until combined.
- Gently fold in the grated jujube fruit and then the chopped chopped fruit.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
- In a small saucepan, mix together the honey, cashew butter and coconut oil over medium heat. Add salt slowly a bit at a time, stir and taste. Mixture might not appear to come together well but be patient.
- Stirring constantly, bring to a boil for about 2 minutes. It should thicken a bit and become glossy. If it does not, boil for up to another minute.
- Stir in vanilla and let cool about 5-10 minutes. Pour over the cooled cake. Top with walnuts.
