Take 250g of dates, remove the pits, and chop them into quarters. Ensure the dates are soft and juicy.
Place the chopped dates in a frying pan with 1/4 cup of warm milk. Heat on medium flame until the milk warms up. Let the dates soak in the milk for 20-25 minutes.
Blend the Mixture:
Add 1/2 cup oil and 1/3 cup sugar to a blender. Blend well until the sugar dissolves.
Add the soaked dates and milk mixture to the blender. Blend for about 2 minutes until smooth.
Add the Eggs:
Add the eggs to the blender one at a time, blending well after each addition to ensure they are well incorporated.
Prepare the Batter:
Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl.
Sift 3/4 cup flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder together, then gently fold into the date mixture.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix gently to ensure everything is well combined.
Prepare the Baking Pan:
Grease a baking pan with oil and line it with butter paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Decorate with walnuts or almonds on top.
Bake the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the cake for 20-25 minutes. Check with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
If you don’t have an oven, you can use a heavy-bottomed pan on a stove. Preheat the pan, place a trivet, and put the baking pan on top. Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes on low flame.
Cool and Serve:
Let the cake cool in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack.
Slice and serve the cake once it has cooled.
