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.
