Ingredients
1 cup Flour
18 dates pitted
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp walnut finely chopped
Method
Warm the milk and soak the dates in it for 10-15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180C/360F for 10-15 minutes. Grease the baking tray with butter and dust it with flour. Keep it aside.
In a mixing bowl, mix oil, milk(1/2 cup and remaining 1/4 cup I used to grind the dates) and sugar.
Make a paste of the dates using a blender. I used only 1/4 of milk for easy grinding. Add this ground dates to the wet ingredients. Mix well till you get smooth thin batter.
Add the flour mixture( flour and baking soda) to it and gently fold it till all the ingredients are properly mixed.
Add roughly chopped walnuts to the batter. Gently fold it.
Pour this batter to the pan and bake it for 30-35 minutes. After 30 minutes, check it with toothpick by inserting it into the center of the cake. It should come out clean.
The baking time might vary from oven to oven.
Cool the cake for 5-10 minutes and transfer it to wire rack to cool completely.
Cut them into slices and enjoy.
