Ingredients

• 200 grams Dates
• 250 milliliters Milk
• 100 grams Sugar
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 75 milliliters Oil (neutral-flavored)
• 75 grams Chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Remove the seeds from the dates and chop them into small pieces. Place the chopped dates in a bowl with the milk and let them soak for 15 minutes.

Step 3

After soaking, blend the dates and milk into a smooth puree using a blender or hand mixer.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Add the sugar to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Step 6

Pour the date puree into the dry ingredients. Add the oil and vanilla extract, then gently fold to combine into a smooth batter. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
