I just made this tonight and its amazing....

Ingredients:
18 dates(Khajoor)
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup all purpose flour or maida
1/2 cup oil
1 tea spn baking soda
1 tbl spn cashews, walnuts (optional)

PS: If you use ‘baking powder’ instead of ‘baking soda’, cake becomes a bit harder.

Method:
Soak the dates in warm milk overnight (I usually don’t soak the dates since I use the seedless dates, I just heat milk and dates for few minutes or microwave them so that dates becomes soft and help in grinding). Remove the seeds. Add sugar and grind them to a smooth paste along with the milk in which it is soaked in. Add oil and mix.
Sieve together flour and baking soda. Add the flour one table spoon at a time and mix slowly. Add the nuts and mix.
Preheat the oven at 350F. Bake the cake in a greased dish for 35-40min (or till a knife inserted in the cake comes out clean).

Wake and bake has to be the most retarded concept ever conceived of...
