A recipe I started making for my Muslim friends for when they celebrate Eid, and I was able to share with my Sikh grandmother who is vegetarian and doesn't eat eggs. I got the original recipe from an Indian cooking blog, but modified it to the recipe I currently use below. Now it's my most requested cake no matter what the occasion! Delicious on its own, with a cup of tea, or warmed up and topped with vanilla ice cream!

Ingredients

  • milk: 0.75 cup
  • dates, pitted and left whole: 18 piece
  • brown sugar: 0.5 cup
  • vegetable oil: 0.5 cup
  • vanilla extract: 1 tsp (optional)
  • all-purpose flour: 1 cup
  • baking soda: 1 tsp
  • ground cinnamon: 1 tsp (optional)
  • walnuts: 0.25 cup (chopped, optional)

  4. Whisk flour, baking soda, and cinnamon in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Pulse flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, into the date paste until batter is smooth; do not overmix. Stir walnuts into batter with a fork and transfer to the prepared loaf pan.
