I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good cake. The dates are a nice addition, and the cake is very moist.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover dates. I had a bunch of dates that were about to go bad, so I decided to make this cake. It was a great decision! The cake was delicious and the dates were the perfect addition.
