this one is for all my friends at '3rd avyudaya festival of learning' who showed keen interest in my cake recipes and reading my blog.
Ingredients:
Whole wheat flour & milk: 1 cup each
Sugar, oil, chopped dates, chopped walnuts: 1/2 cup each
Baking soda: 1 tsp
Vanilla essence: 5 drops
Cocoa powder: optional...can add as per taste or how dark a colour you prefer. i add almost 2 tbsps.
soak chopped dates in warm milk for minimum 10 minutes, it may be more and that is ok. take wheat flour in a dry bowl. add chopped walnuts, baking soda, cocoa powder and sugar. mix well. pour in the dates mixture and vanilla essence and again mix well. in case you find the mixture too thick add more warm milk. now very slowly pour in the oil or melted butter and keep mixing. or you can pour in a little oil, mix well and then pour in a little more and mix and so on till all the oil has been used up. grease your baking tin and pour in the mixture well. preheat the oven at 200 degree celsius, reduce it to 180 when you place the cake mixture and bake for almost 45 to 60 minutes. towards the end you can again increase the temperature to 200 to get a hard crust. do check with a sharp knife if the cake is ready before removing it from oven. pierce the knife in the middle of the cake and if it comes out clean your cake is ready. let it cool before serving. it goes extremely well with vanilla icecream. my mouth is watering. and let me know how it came out.
