Date Walnut Cake (No Eggs)

Directions

1. 1
   Remove the seeds from the dates if not using seedless.

   Soak the dates(save 2-3 to be chopped &added to the batter) in warm milk (3-4 hours is enough for the dates we get here)

   Blend them to a smooth paste along with the milk in which it is soaked in.
4. 4
   Add oil and mix
5. 5
   Preheat the oven to 350F
6. 6
   Sieve together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the mixture one table spoon at a time to the date mixture and mix slowly
7. 7
   Add sugar if needed. I don't add it if I am making a no- sugar version, and the dates add enough sweetness to the cake

   Chop the 2-3 saved dates and add to the batter

   Add the nuts, chopped dates and mix

    Grease a bread pan or a 8x10 Cake pan
