Recipe | Quick eggless Date cake

The goodness of Dates and wonderful aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg make these cakes a perfect tea-time goodies.
At times I replace Dates with Date syrup which is readily available in market. The syrup reduces time to assemble and bake this cake.


Ingredients; 

• 1 cup All purpose flour
• 1 cup chopped Dates
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 tbsp. chopped almonds
• 1 tsp. cinnamon powder
• 1 tsp. nutmeg powder
• 1 tsp. Baking powder

Method; Bring milk to boil in a pan.

Take it off  and soak de-seeded and chopped dates in it for about 2 hours.

Grind the soaked date with sugar and milk into fine puree.

Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, chopped almonds and nutmeg powder in a large bowl and combine well.

Pour date puree and melted butter in the bowl and fold in with a fork or spoon to make a smooth batter. Preheat oven to 180°C and grease small baking tins or a single round cake tin.

Pour the batter in baking tins and bake for about 25-30 minutes or till done.
