Ingredients:
- 18-20 dates
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2-3 tsp brown sugar (optional)
- 1 cup flour(1/2 cup wheat flour and 1/2 cup all purpose)
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1 tea spoon baking soda
- 1 table spoon walnuts
Method:
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) Remove the seeds if not using seedless. Blend them to a smooth paste along with the milk in which it is soaked in. Add oil and mix.
Sieve together flour and baking soda. Add the flour one table spoon at a time and mix slowly. Taste and if needed add sugar. Add the nuts and mix.
Preheat the oven at 180C. Bake the cake in a greased oven dish for 45-50min
