This is my version (and I LOVE it!! I gave in, tried it and fell in love with it) My dh - who doesn't like almonds - ate 1/2 of this when I made it.
16 oz raw almonds
16 oz dates, pitted and soaked
Big bunches of bananas (around 12-14 probably)
bundt cake pan
(this recipe calls for figs also but I never use figs)
In a food processor, using the S blade, pulse chop the almonds and put in a bowl. Then process the dates and put in a separate bowl. Then process the bananas and put in a separate bowl. Then start layering the bundt cake in this order:
almonds
bananas
almonds
dates
almonds
bananas
almonds
dates
Make sure you end the top with either bananas or dates (I always mix bananas and dates together at the end and put on the top - reminds me of pecan pie for some reason)
Then put the cake in the freezer and let it sit until firm (probably about 4 hours or you can let it sit overnight - but it's sooo good, I've never let it sit overnight) After it gets firm, take it out and put it upside down on a plate. And it will slide out when it's ready or you can put the bottom of the cake pan in warm water so it will slide out.
