Spongy Dates Cake Recipe

6:58 PM

This is the first time I had baked a cake using dates. This recipe is made to the T from Suhaina's My Singapore Kitchen and she claimed that this was one of the best cake she has done so far and I must admit, it was the best - super moist and spongy.

This cake becomes all the more healthy due to the use of the nutritious ingredient, dates. You can also add toasted walnuts for extra crunch. The entire cake was finished by us the moment it came out of the oven and hence I couldn't click a proper pic of this delicious beauty :)
