- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Tips:
- Ensure the dates are pitted before blending to avoid damaging your blender.
- Use a ripe avocado for a smoother texture and easier blending.
