Eggless Date Cake image

A recipe I started making for my Muslim friends for when they celebrate Eid, and I was able to share with my Sikh grandmother who is vegetarian and doesn't eat eggs. I got the original recipe from an Indian cooking blog, but modified it to the recipe I currently use below. Now it's my most requested cake no matter what the occasion! Delicious on its own, with a cup of tea, or warmed up and topped with vanilla ice cream!

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ cup milk
18 dates, pitted and left whole
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Heat milk in a saucepan until almost boiling and stir in dates; let soak for several hours, refrigerated. For best flavor, refrigerate dates and milk overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a medium loaf pan.
  • Transfer milk and dates to food processor, add brown sugar, and process into a smooth paste. Mix in vegetable oil and vanilla extract with a few pulses.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, and cinnamon in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Pulse flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, into the date paste until batter is smooth; do not overmix. Stir walnuts into batter with a fork and transfer to the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

This cake is the perfect combination of moist and fluffy. It's not too sweet, and the dates add a nice touch of flavor.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this cake was. I'm not a big fan of dates, but they were really subtle in this cake. The cake was also very moist and flavorful.
