Step 4
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan with Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed) . Line the pan with parchment, overhanging on two sides - this allows you to lift the cake out of the pan.

Step 7
In a medium bowl whisk together Brown Sugar (1/2 cup) and Vegetable Oil (1/4 cup) . Add Eggs (2) one at a time, incorporating after each. Add dates, Unsweetened Apple Sauce (3/4 cup) and Buttermilk (1/2 cup) whisking to fully combine.
Step 8
Whisk in dry ingredients until combined. Add diced apples, shaking off any excess flour as you add them. Stir to evenly distribute.
Step 9
Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with pecan streusel. Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
