Time 1h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups pitted and coarsely chopped medjool dates (about 16 dates)
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, lukewarm
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 cup uncooked medium couscous
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 cup icing sugar
5 teaspoons milk

Steps:

  • For the Cake: With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Butter and flour a 20-cm (8-inch) springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan, bring the water, dates, butter and baking soda to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate until lukewarm, about 30 minutes.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, couscous and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture turns pale, triples in volume and falls from the beaters in a ribbon, about 10 minutes. Using a spatula, gently fold in the dry ingredients then the date mixture.
  • Pour into the springform pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 65 minutes.
  • Let cool. Run the blade of a thin knife around the inside of the pan. Unmould and let cool on a rack.
  • For the Icing: In a bowl, beat the sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The dates added a nice chewy texture and the orange zest gave it a bright flavor.
