Ingredients (8 inch cake mold):
1 cup dates (220g , chopped)
1 cup hot milk (250ml)
3 eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup fine granulated sugar (100g)
1 tsp vanilla essence
2/3 cup melted unsalted butter (150g)
1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour (200g)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp nutmeg powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup chopped and roasted walnuts (100g)
To roast walnuts:
Add the raw chopped walnuts onto a pan, turn the flame on medium and toss it for 2 mins. It will turn from golden colour to slightly brown. Toasted walnuts are ready!

Tips and Notes:
1. 170 C, 60 to 70 minutes is the baking time. Baking time may vary in different oven (10 mins more or less if needed, use a toothpick test after 60 mins to check if the cake is baked perfectly or not)
2. You can add had vanilla or orange juice for flavouring. Both are good options.
3. Sweetness of this cake is from dates and sugar. Hence add only the quantity of dates mentioned. 220 g of dates should be around 10 to 12 dates. Adding more dates will make the cake more sweeter, alter texture of the cake and vary baking time.
4. Roasting walnuts will remove the raw taste of walnuts and make it more crunchy and crispy.
5. Consume the cake within 3 to 5 days as it is perishable at room temperature. If refrigerated, use within 9 days.
