eggless date walnut cake / dates cake recipe

This eggless date walnut cake is so delicious and addictive its sweet,nutty and everything you love all put together in this one cake. Healthy and rich perfect cake to have any time in a day whenever you long for it. I have used brown sugar in powdered form you can use even castor sugar but this brown sugar only will give the desired taste to this whole dish. I have already done with a version of the same date cake recipe with totally different ingredients and another cake done as a microwave version. Adding baking soda to the warm dates paste gives the cake its proper

texture and taste every time. While baking each oven differs in baking time so you should definitely know your oven behaviour so that you will have a good baked goods every time. For baking purpose generally I prefer to go with grams rather than in cups. Weighing in grams will always give you accurate measurements every time. If you don’t have a weighing scale do invest in one which will be of more use if you prefer to bake frequently. I have used ordinary baking round tin but you can use a bundt pan or even a loaf tin. Properly grease, dust and line your pan with parchment before baking. Do try this eggless date walnut cake for sure you will definitely love it.

Notes

I have used brown sugar you can use even regular sugar but taste differs.
Oven temperate differs you should know your oven and bake accordingly.
The dates mixture should be warm enough when mixing the cake so that the texture comes out perfect.
I have given both cup and grams measure but its better to go with grams measure always for best results.
I have used brown sugar which was powdered so be noted.
