Ingredients
Dates – 30
Milk – 2 cup
Honey 3 tbsp
Vanilla essence – ½ tsp
Wheat flour – 2 cup
Baking soda – ¾ tsp
Salt - ¼ tsp
Vegetable oil – ½ cup
Nuts (chopped) – ½ cup
Dates (chopped) – ¼ cup
Method
Grease a cake tin with butter, dust it with flour and keep it ready. Sift together wheat flour, baking soda and salt for 3 – 4 times. Keep it aside.
Remove the seeds from the dates add 1 cup milk to it. Microwave it for 2 minutes to make the dates soft (you can also keep the dates soaked for about an hour instead of microwaving).
Add the remaining milk, sugar and vanilla essence to the heated dates and blend it well in a grinder. Move this to a bowl and add the flour mixture to this little by little and combine evenly.
Add the vegetable oil and mix well. Now add the chopped nuts (reserve 2 tbsp nuts to sprinkle on top) and dates to this and fold lightly. Pour this batter to the greased cake tin and sprinkle the remaining chopped nuts on top.
Bake it in the preheated oven for about 45 – 50 minutes (or till a wooden skewer inserted at the center of the cake comes out clean) at 180 degree. Remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 30 minutes at room temperature. Slowly remove the cake from the cake tin and cool it completely on a wire rack. Serve.
