Date and Nut Cake is a rich, delicious and an excellent Cake that almost everyone knows. In this one, I have used almost all the Dry Fruits, Tutti Fruiti and most importantly Dates. I have incorporated Dates in this one for a lovely taste and flavour. A beautiful twist in all. Tutti Fruiti is an exception though. It's not at all mandatory.
It's an awesome one at that. It's yummy with the evening Tea. And is a lovely Tea-time accompaniment that's loved by almost all of my family and relatives. Iam sure it's the most loved one in your houses as well.

It's made on many festive occasions and is the most popular too.
This one is relished by my family on many a family get togethers and reunions. And I have made it exclusively in my own way. So let's get started then.

Happy Baking with Zeen!

Ingredients

35-40 minutes

8-10 servings

2 1/2 cupsAll-purpose Flour or Maida
3Eggs
1 tspBaking powder
1/2 tspBaking Soda
1 cupSugar
2 tspVanilla essence
1/2 cupMilk
2/3 cupOil
1 1/2 cupspitted Dates
1/2 cupmixed Nuts and Dry Fruits

Cooking Instructions

35-40 minutes

1

In this particular Cake, the changes I have made are absolutely responsible for it's super duper fluffy texture and flavour too. The important change in this that I have made is to beat Egg whites until stiff and done. The yellow part or the Egg Yolk can be whisked separately along with Sugar and Oil. The second change that I have made is to use Oil instead of Butter.
2

Sift all the dry ingredients as we usually do in any Baking. Fold it in the wet mix along with all the Nuts, Seeds, Dates and Tutti Fruiti. Use Milk while mixing.
3

And then lastly, fold in the Egg whites slowly until incorporated well. Tap it once and bake on 160° in a fan assisted preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until done.
4

Slice and enjoy. Yum!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
