eggless date cake in microwave /walnut and dates cake

This time its Christmas season!!had idea to go butter-less!!made microwave eggless cake to keep it simple and health worthy.I always appreciate and enjoy that each variety of cake(egg-less or with egg) have different qualities as one would expect there are tons of cake varieties available around the globe.The cinnamon and nutmeg powder’s are two flavor enhancers in this cake.The aroma of eggless date cake in microwave is very distinct!It is totally soft in the center and the corners are slightly dense and little chewy!still it stands out to be a perfect evening snack.Some quality dates are soft by itself and need not be soaked,but the dates I had needed soaking!!it soaked for good 1 hour.Generally minimum twenty minutes soaking itself is okay.I microwaved it in micro high 100% for 10 minutes then reduced to 80% for 7 minutes that’s it my cake was all done..

Notes

Use up the milk to make up the consistency,if not add some water for proper consistency to be reached.
The timing may differ from oven to oven .
Soak dates at least for twenty minutes depending on the variety.
But I have soaked it for more than one hour.
When baking always leave gap for raising with suitable container.
Don't use steel tins to cook in microwave,use microwave compatible glass or porcelain.
