Eggless Dates Cake with Wheat Flour

I have already posted a date cake recipe (can be found here) but this recipe is with wheat flour. Definitely wheat flour is a much healthier version of maida. Also I did not add sugar to this cake. I used a variety of sticky dates for this recipe.

Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour

• 25 Seedless dates

• 1 tsp Baking soda

• 1/2 cup Roughly chopped walnuts

• 1 tsp Cinnamon powder

• 1 tsp Flax seeds powder

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and baking soda well

2. De-seed the dates and boil it in enough milk till it is soft and make a puree of this

3. In a large bowl, add the oil, dates paste and beat it well

4. Tip in the cinnamon powder and the flax seeds powder and mix well

5. Add the dry ingredients and fold it gently to mix well

6. Add the chopped walnuts and mix once

7. Pour this into a greased loaf tin and bake it for 35-40 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C keeping a watch, till the toothpick comes clean
