Dates Cake (Egg less and Butter less)





This is a soft and moist butter less and egg less cake with the goodness of dates in it. This cake is very easy to make and tastes awesome. I am posting lots of pictures of this yummy cake....so sit tight...you are going to enjoy it.... :)



As my family said.... it tastes like gulab jamun. I added little less sugar as mentioned in the quantity, as dates has its own sweetness. 


Now-a-days, i take the ingredients for baking, according to the gms and ml and not by cups unless the recipe demands. I read somewhere that for baking cakes, the ingredients has to be accurate using gms and ml and if we convert it into cups there will be a slight difference in the quantity. So i would suggest you to take the ingredients according to the gms and ml, but again its your choice....




I don't know how to describe about this cake...Try it out by yourself and you will come to know.
