Dates Cake- No Sugar No Maida and No Egg | Gayathiri's Cookbook

This Dates Cake is simple and delicious.Dates are an excellent source of fiber, natural sugars, low in cholesterol and fat. Have this healthy cake for breakfast or as a snack with your coffee or tea. This cake is naturally sweetened with dates and walnuts. Can be enjoyed guilt-free by kids and adults alike.

I wanted to do a healthy version, so I avoided sugar, regular milk, and all purpose flour. You can add 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar for extra sweetness and can substitute soymilk with regular milk and wheat flour with all purpose flour for regular version.

Note: If you use all purpose flour, you will get exact cake like consistency whereas if you use wheat flour, you will get a cake consistency but with a Halwa-type taste.

My family likes the "Halwa Dates cake".
Pick the taste your family loves!!!
