How to make dates cake without egg?
- De-seed and soak the dates in little warm milk and keep aside for 30 minutes.
- Add sugar, milk and oil in a mixing bowl and stir until sugar gets dissolved.
- In another bowl, sieve flour with baking soda and keep aside.
- Add the dates along with milk used for soaking to a blender and make smooth puree.
- Add the dates puree to the first bowl with milk and sugar mixture. Mix well.
- Add chopped almonds and stir.
- Again sieve and add flour to the milk and sugar mixture in first bowl. Mix well using a hand blender or manually.
- Line the baking pan with butter and dust it with little flour. Dust the excess flour out of the pan, this will ensure that your cake does not stick to the pan. You can also line the baking pan with baking parchment paper.
- Now pour the cake mixture in the pan and slightly shake the pan to ensure even spreading of the batter.
- Pre-heat the OTG for 10 minutes at 175C.
- Bake for 50 minutes at 175C.
- After 50 minutes insert a tooth-pick or skewer at the center of the cake. If the tooth-pick or skewer comes out clean, it means that the cake is baked well.

Notes to be kept in mind while baking dates cake eggless:
- The cake that I baked had developed cracks. You can bake the cake at a lower temperature and in a wider baking pan, this will help the cake not to develop cracks.
- You may use seedless dates.
- Almonds can be replaced with walnuts or you may add both almonds and walnuts.
- I added olive oil to bake this cake. Addition of olive oil makes the cake moist and delicate. It also gives the cake a moist texture and makes the cake light and adds subtle flavour. You may use any type of vegetable oil.

This sounds and looks delicious! I have slivered almonds and am trying to find on Google how many slivered almonds would equal 1 whole almond. I can’t find it… Can you give me the amount of almonds needed in grams? Can’t wait to make this! Thank you!
