    Ingredients

    Flour -  I am using all-purpose flour for the cake but half and half wheat and APF will also work

    Sugar - I am using Refined sugar. Brown sugar also works well for the cake.

    Dates - Use any fresh dates. I prefer Medjool dates but all the varieties works well.

    Oil - This is a butterless cake and hence oil is the only fat ingredient for shortening. Use any flavorless oil. Sunflower oil works well.

    Milk - Use any vegan or dairy as you prefer.

    Tutti Frutti - Gives a lovely colour pop and adds more festivity to the cake.

    Baking Powder - For the texture of the cake.

    FAQ's

    Are dates good for baking?

    Dates are a perfect ingredients for baking. They have the natural sweetness and suits best for the cake

    Should I soak dates before baking?

    Soaking dates makes them soft. With softer dates they are easy to grind and goes well with a variety of dates. But with a good blender you can skip soaking part.
    Another good reason for soaking dates is it helps in easy digestion.

    Tips & Variations

    • I like a few chunks of Dates in my cake, so I made it into a coarse puree. You can soak the dates in milk and make that into a fine puree too.
    • The flavor of the cake will be intense when it’s a day old. Give it a try.
    • You can skip the Tutti Frutti and chocolate chips part if you don’t prefer. Feel free to experiment with the optional ingredients.
    • Don’t ever skip the sieving part as it ensures even mixing of the flour and baking powder.

    Serving Suggestions

    The cake can be simply enjoyed as it is as a snack or munch on. Makes a perfect gift for baking during Christmas or any occasions too.

    Storage Options

    The cake stays good in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can reheat them in the microwave or you can broil for 1-2 mins and serve fresh and warm.
