Ingredients
- 8 ounce dates pitter
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 tick butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup PLAIN yogurt
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- Place the dates and hot water in a bowl and let them site for 10 minutes. This helps the dates to soften. Drain and chop the dates after then minutes.
- In a large bowl whip the butter and sugar until fluffy and light.
- Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Add in the yogurt and mix again.
- Add in flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix using a wooden spoon.
- Fold in chopped dates and walnuts. Do not over mix.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean with very few crumbs.
- Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Transfer it to a cooling rack and cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- I used Deglet Noor Dates, If you're using medjool dates, you don't need to soak them in hot water. Simply chop them and add them to the batter with walnuts.
- Each oven is different therefore start checking the cake after 40 minutes to make sure it doesn't over bake.
