Moist Eggless Date Loaf
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 18 dates, pitted and left whole
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
1
Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring occasionally. Introduce the dates to the milk and allow them to absorb its flavors for several hours, then refrigerate. For optimal results, chill the mixture overnight in the refrigerator.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a standard-sized loaf pan with cooking spray.
3
Combine the milk, dates, and brown sugar in a food processor. Process the mixture until it forms a uniform, smooth paste. Incorporate vegetable oil and vanilla extract into the date paste with a few gentle pulses.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Gradually add the dry mixture to the date paste in small increments, about 1/4 cup at a time, until you achieve a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing the batter. Introduce chopped walnuts to the mixture using a fork and transfer it to your prepared loaf pan.
5
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
