From the Aayi's Recipes blog ( ). Very easy to make and always a hit! It's quite sweet, I think it would probably work with 1/2 cup of sugar and still taste good. Note: I add a pinch of salt. Ingredients:
18 pitted dates |
3/4 cup milk |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup oil |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 tablespoon walnuts (optional) |
1 pinch salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven at 350°F.
2. Microwave the dates and milk for 1 or 2 minute or heat on the stovetop until the dates are soft.
3. Add sugar to the mixture.
4. Blend in a blender until pureed.
5. Add oil and mix.
6. Pour mixture into a medium-sized bowl.
7. In a separate bowl, sieve together flour, baking soda and salt.
8. Add the flour mixture a little bit at a time to the liquid mixture and mix slowly.
9. Add the nuts and mix.
10. Bake the cake in a greased oven proof cake pan for 35-40min (or till a knife is inserted in the cake and comes out clean).
