Date & Walnut Cake!

Hello Everyone,

Who does not love the smell of baking & the taste of yum dry fruits! Here is my favourite recipe with out which my winters are incomplete : Dates & Walnut Cake

Ingredients:

• Refined flour or Maida    - 100gm
• Oil or Butter                    -75gm
• Sugar                               - 100gm
• Eggs                                 - 3
• Baking Powder               - Half a tsp
• Dates                               - 10 - 12 sliced
• Walnuts                           - Handful roughly chopped
• Vanilla Essence               - 1tsp

Method:

Beat the three eggs till they are a bit soft. Add the sugar, butter/oil & vanilla essence & beat for 3-4 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together. Gradually mix/fold in the dry ingredients with the egg mixture. Do not over mix it. In the end add the dry fruits and mix it just once in the batter. Bake it till perfection. It usually takes 40 minutes. But after 35 minutes check by inserting a tooth pick. If it comes clean, they your cake is ready. Enjoy the yummy cake with a nice tea or coffee :)
