Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dates (pitted and chopped)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup sugar (brown sugar preferred for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Dates: Place the chopped dates in a bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Stir in the baking soda, and set aside for 10 minutes to soften.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, and whisk until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the softened dates (with the water) to the bowl. Then, sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until the batter is combined.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch cake pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Serve: Let the cake cool slightly, then enjoy it plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.

This easy date cake has a soft, moist texture with natural sweetness from the dates—perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!
