Eggless Dates Cake is a super delicious, soft and moist cake that is perfect tea time snack and is worth try. The nutty flavor of dates with almonds, raisins and cashews is just amazing. This is one cake recipe that I prepare more often.
This cake will disappear in matter of seconds once its ready and served. So do not forget to reserve a piece for you! If you want to learn baking, this is the best cake that you can try out. The color of the cake may vary from what you see here depending on the dates that you have used. But that’s ok because the taste of the cake is just awesome.

Ingredients for Eggless Dates Cake
Dates – 8 oz
Milk – 1 1/2 cup
All purpose flour – 1 1/2 cup
Baking soda – 1 1/2 tsp

Steps to prepare Eggless Dates Cake
- Grind dates and milk together to form smooth thick paste.
- Transfer this to bowl. Add all purpose flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, melted butter and mix well.
- Now add the chopped almonds, cashews and raisins and mix well. Batter is ready.
- Preheat the oven for 350 degree F. Grease the baking pan with butter.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for about 30 minutes or till knife inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cake rest for atleast 5 to 10 minutes before inverting it. Let it cool down completely even before you slice it.

Tip:
- I have used whole milk and seedless dates in this recipe. You can also reduce the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the dates.
- Use any pan of your desired shape.
- You can top the cake with more nuts or frosting of your choice.
- If you are diet conscious then reduce the amount of butter in the recipe. You can also substitute butter with oil.

You can but it will be very dense.

350 degree F / 175 degree C
How much time to preheat the oven?
I know Americans usually like their desserts much sweeter than Europeans. My tastep for desserts is totally European though I’m Brazilian and have never lived in Europe. I drink my espressos black. I was just wondering what it’d taste like if I left out all the sugar. Dates are probably the most exotic fruit in Brazil.
You can totally skip sugar if you prefer mild sweetness.. the final outcome would vary depend on the sweetness of the dates, so adjust accordingly
Very nice dates cake kushi ji
Thank you Neha 🙂
Hi… 8oz means how much almonds exactly. Q
approx one cup(200 g) of seedless dates. The question is regarding dates right 🙂
Can we use microwave instead of oven
I am so sorry but I have not tried it in microwave yet.
you havnt used vanilla essence, how will the smell of baking soda be masked in this case??
Hi Sonali , The flavor of dates masks everything. Many of my readers have tried this recipes and where happy with outcome. If you are worried feel free to add 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Do let me know how this turned out!
Hi! …J like this cake very much….But J Have used only dates..and the cake was too wet…sach as a fudge! J have baked 50 minutes?
Did you follow the same recipe or did you add any additional wet ingredients? Many have tried this recipe with success, so I am not sure what may have gone wrong.
