I'm living in the desert shores and why not bake a cake that has dates in it! This is a simple recipe that I came across but changed a little. It is not too sweet and works well with prunes too if you are not a big dates fan.
Ingredients
- 310 g pitted dates (or prunes) - chopped
- 185g butter - cubed
- 120g castor sugar
- 250ml water
- 1 tsp bicarbonate soda
- 3 eggs
- 150g self raising flour
- 75g plain flour
Directions
- Grease a cake tin and cover the base with baking paper.
- Place the dates, butter, sugar, water and soda in a small pot/saucepan and bring to boil, stirring occassionally.
- Remove from heat and cool it for 30 minutes
- Once cooled, mix in the eggs and flour into the dates mixture until well combined.
- Pour into the cake tin and bake for about 50 minutes at 160 degrees (please use your oven specs) or until toothpick comes clean.
- Let the cake stand for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool.
