Birthday cake

This date and nut torte is a great alternative to a traditional birthday cake. It tastes amazing, the kids loved it.. and so did we!

The frosting has a nice lemon zing to it.

We used a food processor to whip this up but you may be able to get away with using a blender if that's all you have on hand.

I made this cake for my sons 10th birthday. Last year I looked at the recipe and felt overwhelmed this year I tried it and it is sooo good. Just want to post incase someone has a kid birthday coming up, or an adult. It just feels so important to make special stuff for raw kids on an occasion like a birthday.
