Eggless Date Cake Recipe

Eggless Date Cake Recipe

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 18 dates, pitted and left whole
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  1. Heat milk in a saucepan until almost boiling and stir in dates; let soak for several hours, refrigerated. For best flavor, refrigerate dates and milk overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a medium loaf pan.
  3. Transfer milk and dates to food processor, add brown sugar, and process into a smooth paste. Mix in vegetable oil and vanilla extract with a few pulses.
  4. Whisk flour, baking soda, and cinnamon in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Pulse flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, into the date paste until batter is smooth; do not overmix. Stir walnuts into batter with a fork and transfer to the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
