Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Moist Eggless Date Cake.
Step 1
Begin by gently heating milk in a saucepan until it’s just shy of boiling.
Step 2
Stir in the dates and allow them to soak in the refrigerator for several hours; for optimal flavor, let the mixture chill overnight.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a medium loaf pan by greasing it.
Step 4
Next, transfer the soaked milk and dates into a food processor.
Step 5
Add brown sugar and blend until you achieve a velvety smooth paste.
Step 6
Incorporate vegetable oil and vanilla extract, pulsing a few times to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon until thoroughly mixed.
Step 8
Gradually add the flour mixture to the date paste, about a quarter cup at a time, blending until the batter is smooth—be cautious not to overmix.
Step 9
If desired, gently fold in chopped walnuts using a fork.
Step 10
Pour the luscious batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await this delicious treat!.
