Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F) and grease a baking pan.
Soak the dates in the hot coffee until softened, then let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
Blend the pitted dates, coffee, large eggs, avocado oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Add the self‑rising flour and pulse the batter just twice until combined; do not over‑blend.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, tap gently to release air bubbles, and bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake bakes, prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar, date syrup, and coconut milk until smooth and pourable.
Allow the cake to cool completely, then drizzle the date‑syrup icing over the top, slice, and serve.
