Dates or Khajoor cake is simple and easy to bake. It can be baked without oven also. Wheat flour and jaggery are used here to bring the healthy alternative, to the cake. This cake can be baked, using oil , avoiding butter. I have also used olive oil, to keep the cake soft. I baked my cake in a saucepan on gas store. The outcome is wonderful and the taste is awesome.
