Instructions
Chop dates into small pieces.
In a nonstick pan, add the finely chopped dates, raisins, water, cashew pieces, sugar and butter. Stir well until the sugar and butter dissolves.
Cook in a medium flame for 20 – 25 minutes or until the dates are mushy.
Remove from the flame and keep it aside to cool down.
Mix the baking soda, flour and salt in a bowl and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Grease an 8″ cake pan and keep it aside.
Add the vanilla and lemon juice to the cooled fruit mixture and mix well.
Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and gently fold the mixture.
Add milk little by little to form a thick batter.
The batter should be thick so add milk carefully. I used 1 cup of milk.
Don’t over mix or over beat the batter.
Quickly transfer the batter to the greased cake tin.
Immediately place the cake tin in the preheated oven.
Bake at 180 degrees C for 35 minutes or till a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake and comes out clean.
Baking times may vary, depending on your oven. So keep an eye on it.
Allow the cake to cool down for 15 minutes and invert.
Let it cool completely and cut into pieces.
This cake can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serve & Enjoy!
Notes
You can use any of your favorite nuts.
The sugar quantity depends on the sweetness of the dates you use. Adjust accordingly.
