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
Dates are a perfect ingredients for baking. They have the natural sweetness and suits best for the cake
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.
How to prepare Dates Tutti Frutti Cake
1. In a mixing bowl add in the Milk and Oil and mix well.
2. Now add in sugar along with milk and oil.
3. Whisk well until the sugar completely dissolves
4. Deseed the dates and add them to a food process or blender. If the dates are too hard to grind soak in milk for 10 min and then grind. This will soften the dates.
5. Blend to a coarse paste.
6. Now add in the dates puree along with the wet ingredients and whisk well.
7. In another mixing bowl sieve the flour and baking powder together.
8. Also add tutti frutti and combine.
9. Next add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients (flour + Baking soda). Add in batches.
10. Fold gently and prepare the batter without any lumps.
11. Pour in the prepared batter in the greased and lined baking pan. I am using a 7 inch round baking pan. Top with more tutti frutti or nuts as you prefer.
12. Preheat the oven at 180 deg C for about 10 mins. Bake the cake at 180deg c for about 35-40 mins.
13. Do check after 30 mins as the baking time may vary from oven to oven. Insert a tooth pick and see if its comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 15mins.
14. Remove from the baking pan and let it cool completely in a wire rack and then slice and serve. Eggless Dates Cake is now ready to serve.
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.
