Ingredients
Start here, then move straight into the method.
- 2 and a half cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup low-fat milk
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup boiling water
- 4 eggs
- a dash of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- Leave the pitted dates soaked in the boiling water and baking soda for about an hour.
- Bring the date mixture to a boil for a few minutes over the heat, then set it aside.
- Toast the walnuts with 1 tablespoon of flour over low heat for a few minutes, then set them aside.
- Beat the eggs well and add a dash of vanilla.
- Add the sugar and continue beating; add the oil and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and the sugar dissolves.
- Add the dates at this stage and continue beating.
- Begin adding the flour alternately with the baking powder.
- Also add the milk alternating with the flour until the mixture is homogeneous.
- Add the toasted walnuts which we had set aside.
- Pour the cake batter into an oven pan lightly greased with a little butter or tahini.
- Place the date cake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes at 180°C, or until the cake is well cooked; you can test doneness by inserting a wooden skewer into the cake—if it comes out dry, the cake is done.Timers: 40 min
- When the cake is baked and browned, remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool before slicing and serving; it can be decorated with powdered sugar and whole walnut halves.
