Steps to make Flourless Walnut-Date Cake

1	Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and generously grease a 9-inch round cake tin with cooking spray then line with baking parchment paper.
2	Combine walnuts, cinnamon and sugar	2
In a food processor pulse 3 cups of walnut halves, ¾ teaspoon of cinnamon and ¼ cup of sugar until finely ground but not too powdery.
3	Combine egg yolks	2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk 4 egg yolks with 2 teaspoons of orange zest and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, if you wish to use, and combine.
4	Combine egg whites	1
In a separate, large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 4 egg whites and a pinch of salt, on medium-high speed, until foamy.
5	Add sugar	8
While continuously beating, add ¼ cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, for about 8 minutes, until soft peaks form.
6	Add yolks, dates, and nut mixture	3
Fold in the whisked egg yolk mixture with ¾ cup of chopped dates, then add the nut mixture until evenly combined.
7	Bake	30
Transfer to the prepared cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until golden and a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin before inverting onto a plate.
8	Prepare glaze	2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 ounces of chopped bittersweet chocolate, 4 tablespoons of margarine and 1 teaspoon of honey in the microwave for about 2 minutes then whisk until smooth and combined.
9	Top cake	2
Pour the glaze over a cooled cake and top with chopped, toasted walnuts.
10	Serve
