Ingredients:

For the Medjool Date Filling:

• 3 cups Medjool Dates (pitted and chopped)
• 1¼ cups water
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp baking powder

For the Cake:

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup canola oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt

For the Crumble Topping:

• 1¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup melted butter

Instructions:

Medjool Date Filling

1. In a medium pot over medium heat, combine dates, water, brown sugar, lemon juice, and baking powder.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook on a low boil until tender. Mash the date mixture and set aside to cool.

Cake

1. Lightly grease a 9×13" pan and line with parchment paper (this ensures it can be removed easily). Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, sugar, and oil.
3. Add eggs and vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
4. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, and whisk until combined.
5. Spread half of the cake batter into the prepared pan.
6. Spread the cooled date filling over the batter and top with the remaining batter. Leave a little space at the edge to prevent the filling from running out and try to seal the filling between the bottom and top layers of batter.

For the Crumble Topping

1. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, and melted butter until crumbly.
2. Sprinkle evenly over the cake.
3. Bake for about 60 minutes, until the center is completely set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
4. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
