Oil free, gluten free and without refined sugar! Apart from the chocolate it's healthy hehe :)

- 100g ground hazelnuts
- 100g rice flour *
- 50g cacao

Other:

Instructions
- Mix all ingredients to a smooth dough. Chop the dates and the chocolate and fold them in. Pour the dough into a baking form ( oiled or prepared with baking sheet) and bake it for about 60 min ( 180°C/365°F upper/lower heat, preheated!). Test with a wooden stick etc. if it's ready! Then let it cool down, melt dark chocolate and spread it over the cake.
