Date Walnut Cake (No Eggs)
Ingredients
- 18-20 pieces Dates ⓘ
- 5 tablespoons Granulated sugar ⓘ
- 1 cup All purpose flour ( I use 1/2 cup APF & 1/2 cup whole wheat flour ⓘ
- 1/2 cup Oil ( I use Saffola) ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda ⓘ
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder ⓘ
- 1 1/2 cups Milk ( you can also use Soy or Almond milk to make a vegan version) ⓘ
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Walnuts (optional) ⓘ
Instructions
- Remove the seeds from the dates if not using seedless.
- Soak the dates(save 2-3 to be chopped &added to the batter) in warm milk (3-4 hours is enough for the dates we get here)
- Blend them to a smooth paste along with the milk in which it is soaked in.
- Add oil and mix
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- Sieve together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the mixture one table spoon at a time to the date mixture and mix slowly
- Add sugar if needed. I don't add it if I am making a no- sugar version, and the dates add enough sweetness to the cake
- Chop the 2-3 saved dates and add to the batter
- Add the nuts, chopped dates and mix
- Grease a bread pan or a 8x10 Cake pan
- Pour the mixture in the pan and bake for about 35-40 mins (until the inserted knife comes out clean)
