  1. In a blender, process the flour and dates or prunes until the mixture starts to stick together somewhat.
  2. Press into the bottom of a lined springform pan; set aside. 
  3. Rinse out the blender bowl. 
  4. Process each layer of ingredients until smooth, and transfer to a squeeze bottle; rinse and use the same blender bowl for each layer. 
  5. You may order the layers as desired. I started with a thin layer of chocolate. 
  6. Freeze until the layer hardens, and then pour on another layer; repeat until you use all the layer mixtures. 
  7. Freeze the cake overnight. 
  8. Prepare a hot water bath to dunk the pan into so that the cake releases from the sides. 
  9. Transfer to a serving plate. 
  10. Whisk together the drizzle ingredients, and then drizzle over the cake.
