3. Pour the batter into in prepared baking dish and bake in 350F/180C for about 32-34 minutes. The cake is ready when the edges start to pull away from the sides and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, set the cake aside to cool for at least 30 minutes, or preferably until it reaches room temperature.
4. To make the frosting, first place the dates in a bowl and pour hot water over them until they are covered. Don't skip this step! The dates need to be hydrated and soft enough to blend. Let them soak for about 10 minutes, then drain. If the dates still have pits, remove and discard them.
5. In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, water, maple syrup, vanilla, coconut oil, and salt. Process until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. Add the shredded coconut and pecans and pulse a few times, just until they are evenly distributed.
6. Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting over the cake in an even layer. Slice and serve. Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
