Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the leavening agents are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as the batter comes together.
Add the chopped dates and raisins to the batter. Fold them in to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Slice and enjoy this wholesome, naturally sweetened cake with a warm cup of tea or coffee.
