cakephp 3.0 time and date

Im trying to pass a logged in user current date with timezone offset in 'Y-m-d' format from controller to view in CakePHP 3.0.

Somehow date format becomes datetime format once in the view.

AppController.php - beforeFilter

$dateuser = Time::now();
$dateuser->setToStringFormat('YYYY-MM-dd');
$dateuser->timezone = $this->Auth->user('time_zone');
$this->set(compact('dateuser'));

echo $dateuser; = 2015-01-23


Layout/default.ctp

<?php echo $dateuser; ?> = 2015-01-23 08:16:33 ??



Thanks,
Andras
