BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE – Sugar-Free Date Cake

If you are trying to avoid refined sugar in your baking, then this sugar-free date cake recipe is for you. This blueberry coffee cake contains no sugar and it’s sweetened by dates only. If you are using the frosting, then you will be using dates and honey as a sweetener in this date cake recipe.

This blueberry coffee cake does not contain any coffee. It’s called a coffee cake because it pairs well with coffee.

I used a whipping cream frosting with this cake but it is very optional, as the cake is delicious without any frosting. If you are not using a frosting, you can spread the cake with some honey which is optional too.

  1. I love the idea of a date sweetened cake, but I’m disappointed it’s not gluten free also. Has anyone tried this Blueberry Date Coffee Cake with all gluten free flours?
