Hi Shilpa!
Thanks a lot for this wonderful recipe…came out really well.I baked it in a microwave and it came out nice,soft and fluffy.I used the convention mode at 180 degrees for 15 minutes.also preheated for 10 minutes in the same conditions..I want to try the same recipe using ghee instead of oil…thank you so much!

milk helps in grinding dates. I don’t soak overnight, I just heat the milk and dates for few minutes and it softens them and makes it easy to grind.

hi shilpa,

u hav mntiond tat u dnt soak dates since u use seedless dates, but then how the role of milk shall come into play in this case,because dates have are soaked in warm milk.thus if i use seedless dates,do i need to soak them or not and if yes then wher i must soak them in

Hi Shilpa,
Your website is deliciously superb. I have lost count of the number of recipes I have tried, almost all have turned out great. Could you post a simple reciple for homemade bread? I substituted brown (demerara) sugar for this recipe and it gave a wonderful flavor to the cake.

Keep up the great work, wonder how you get the time….

I just gave it a go, I used butter instead of oil and the spear instead of having to grind whole dates. I used less sugar since the date spread had sugar in it. It came out owesome! I used Swiss marange frosting which I also added some of the date spread to and made a five layered cake with filling for my decorated sculpted cake.
Thanks so much for the recepie I will try it again for sure.
