Preheat oven to 180C / gas mark 4, and line an 18cm round spring form cake tin.
Place coconut oil and maple syrup in a saucepan and melt over a medium heat.

Divide the batter in half and press one half of the mix into the prepared tin, to cover the bottom. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden.
Place dates, cacao/cocoa powder, vanilla and coconut cream into a food processor and process until smooth.
