Eggless Dates And Walnut Cake Recipe

HOW TO MAKE EGGLESS DATES AND WALNUT CAKE?

EGGLESS DATES AND WALNUT CAKE- A SIMPLE MIX AND BAKE COFFEE CAKE WITH DATES & WALNUTS.

This eggless dates and walnut cake is my coffee cake dream come true. It is a rich cake that has the goodness of dates and walnuts. And it uses very minimal butter. It also does not use chock full of sugar and relies on the sweetness of dates. The only change i would make in the cake the next time would be to add a dash of brandy or rum.

This eggless dates and walnut cake has been adapted from here. This cake will have you covered if you have forgotten to soak your fruits in time for the traditional plum cake. And this will also come together in a pinch. The original recipe suggests that a 7 inch round pan be used. But i only have a 6 inch round pan and so i poured the remaining batter into a mini loaf pan and it baked into a beautiful loaf. This is why you are seeing loaf slices too in the pictures.

And finally, i replaced the eggs with flax eggs as i baked this for my in laws and family in India. The nutty taste of the flax eggs further deepened the flavors in the cake and i did not miss the richness eggs offer in a cake for once.
