Date Cake

Made it just once so far… turned out to be healthy and reasonably tasty. Looks a little dry on the picture and in reality too. Maybe add more oil/milk next time.

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 4 egg whites
  • 70g dates without core
  • 30g walnuts
  • 50g milk (more if wants to be more moist)
  • 20g honey
  • 120g low-gluten flour
  • 2g baking soda
  • 10g brown sugar (for egg yolk)
  • 50g brown sugar (for egg white)
  • 50g (or 70g) corn oil
  • 0.5g Salt

Instructions

  1. Clean the dates, remove the core, chopped into small pieces. Grind the walnuts into smaller pieces. Mixed dates, walnuts and milk.
  2. Add the oil into the Step 1 output, mixed well.
  3. Whisk egg yolk with the brown sugar (10g) on top a heated water container (pot), mix quickly and mix well.
  4. Add the output of Step 2 into Step 3, add honey, mixed well, let it sit.
  5. Whip up the egg white, add brown sugar in three batches, whip till the egg white is stiff.
  6. Add the Step 5 into Step 4 in three batches, mix quickly and mix well – do NOT over mixed.
  7. Sift the dry ingredient into Step 6 output, mix quickly until well incorporated (do not over mix).
  8. Pre-heat the oven to 340F (170C), prepare the pan with brushed butter, put the batter into the pan.
