Cooking Instructions
- 1
Soak dates in 1/2 cup warm milk for 1 hour or until soft.
- 2
Sieve flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt for 3 times.
- 3
Add sugar, oil, butter and egg yolk in a bowl and beat everything well. Now add lemon juice and milk from the soaked dates to it and beat it again.
- 4
Keep adding flour little by little and keep beating until all the flour is used. Now add chopped walnuts (reserving some to sprinkle on the cake) and soaked dates to it and beat it again.
- 5
Add egg white and beat to mix everything well. Pour the mixture in the greased baking tin and tap it well. Sprinkle some chopped walnuts over it and bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180 degree for 35 minutes. Now lower the temperature to 160 degree and bake it for 10 to 15 minutes or until done. Let it cool down for 10 minutes then take it out from the tin and transfer it to a wire rack to cool down completely at room temperature.

Serve date and walnut cake with a hot cup of tea or coffee.

Note: if you want to make it eggless then just replace the egg with 1/3 cup of yoghurt. All other ingredients and method will remain same. All-purpose flour can be replaced with wheat flour and instead of white sugar, brown sugar can be used to make a healthier version.

Chocolate Chip Date Cake Chocolate Chip Date Cake
Long-time family favorite. People rave about it, and in several instances, people were surprised that it had dates in it because they claim they don't like date cake, but loved this cake. The feature taste is more so the crispy brown sugar, chocolatey nut topping. The flavor of the dates is secondary but gives it that unique flavor – sending this cake to over-the-top deliciousness!

Everyone, who has visited Greece, or has friends who are Greek has tried either Baklava, or Galaktoboureko, or even both since these Greek Pastries are well known. There is also one more yummyyyy and mouthwatering tasty cake, we like to call Karydopita, otherwise known as Walnut Cake. Whole pieces of Walnuts with Cognac in a nice piece of moist cake….does it get any better than that? Well, maybe with the exception of Chocolate …..:)

Cinnamon & Walnut Bundt Cake Cinnamon & Walnut Bundt Cake
Hello everyone, yesterday turned out to be quite a busy day for me, from food shopping for different recipes, walking Charlie, catching up with some friends on Skype that I have not spoken to in a while, and working on different projects which are all just very exciting. 🙂 Easter is coming up very quickly, well for us our Easter (Greek Easter) is on April 8th, so we have a couple of more weeks. I am hoping to make the traditional Greek Cookies that we have during Easter time. (My arm has been acting up on me again with all the weather changes and it has been strapped up with a band)Come to think of it the Easter Cookie recipe is how I actually met my blogging buddy, and dear friend Dee dee from Invisible-no-more. I had just started blogging and I was searching for blogs that expressed what I was interested in and I came across Dee dee’s. Some of Dee dee’s post were so funny and some so touching, that I commented on one of them and she replied. 🙂 Dee dee asked me if I had a recipe for the Greek Easter Cookies…I sent the recipe and she made them last year & posted them on her blog, the cookies looked so good!!Dee dee has a special place in my heart. 🙂I wasn’t going to do any cooking today, I had some leftover Pastichio that I had made so I was just going to bake a cake. 🙂 The cake started out as a basic Vanilla Cake but I ended up adding Cinnamon and Walnuts, don’t ask why I just felt like I should add something more than just Vanilla. :) -
