Notes

  • I used black dates so soaking for 30 minutes is enough if you use brown dates soak for 1 hour. Brown dates is little harder so soaking time must be increased.
  • Grinding the dates paste coarse is also ok - it depends on how you like your dates in your cake.
  • If you want to use whole wheat flour then use 1 and ¼ cups flour and the remaining ingredients can be the same.
  • The color of the cake purely depends on the dates used.
  • If the recipe calls for baking soda or baking powder , mix it well with flour well so that the distribution is even.
  • Milk added should be boiled and cooled down.
