Date and walnut whole wheat cake (eggless)

I call it 'mixer cake' as all the procedure is done using mixer. I avoid using maida(all purpose flour) as far as possible. Here I have taken wheat flour instead of maida. I also used refined oil in place of butter(saturated fat) The cake tastes equally good and it is healthy so that you can eat it too. Happy Christmas!!!


Ingredients
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup refined oil
10-12 dates
1 cup milk
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup walnuts

Method

• Grease the cake container with butter and dust little wheat flour on it. Take the excess flour off the container
• Soak dates(seedless )in lukewarm milk (with baking soda added) for 10 minutes.
• Place a griddle with sand over it as a base. Preheat the griddle on medium flame for 10 minutes.
• In a grinder grind sugar first.
• To that add oil and blend the mixture till it thickens (solidifies)
• Add dates-milk mixture and blend again.
• Add wheat flour in two parts and blend.
• Mix crushed walnut pieces and mix with spoon.
• Pour the mixture in the greased container.
• Place the container(with lid) on the griddle.
• Bake the cake for 12-15minutes on high and next 15 minutes on medium-low flame.
• Check with toothpick or knife(if after piercing the toothpick/knife comes out clean then the cake is done) before taking off the heat.
