Dates Cake
Last week, on our Wedding Anniversary 😍😍, I was not able to buy cake from outside because of Corona😥. So I was searching for an easy recipe for a cake which I can prepare with available materials at home. Finally I could find this recipe from you tube.
Ingredients:
All purpose flour - 1 cup (250 ml/120 gm) Sugar For Caramel - 1/2 cup Hot water - 3/4 cup Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp Baking Soda - 1/4 tsp Nutmeg Powder - 2 pinch Cinnamon powder - 1/4 tsp Salt - 1/4 tsp Vegetable oil - 1/2 cup Egg - 2 Dates - 250 gm Nuts - 1/4 cup ( I used crushed cashew nuts) water - 150 ml
Method:
Step 1 - Prepare Caramel syrup
Add 1/2 cup sugar into a hot thick bottomed pan. Allow it to melt on medium flame. Otherwise it will be burnt. When it starts melting, change the flame into low flame. Then allow it to melt completely and into a golden brown colour. Add 3/4 cup of boiling water into this and mix well Be careful while pouring. Boil for next 2-3 minutes. Switch off the flame and allow to cool. It will be around 1/2 cup
Take a bowl and add 2 eggs and 1 t spoon vanilla essence. Beat it well to become creamy.
Take another bowl. Mix all dry ingredients ( all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder and salt) and sieve well. Add this into the egg mixture and mix it well.
