Instructions for making Date and walnut cake
Use any medium size bowl or a medium size tea cup for measuring all the wet or dry ingredients. Here, I used a medium size bowl.
1. **Preheat Oven:**
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan or a loaf pan.
2. **Prepare Dates:**
Place the pitted dates in a bowl and pour boiling milk over them. Let them soak for about 10 to 15 minutes. Once softened, mash the dates with a fork or blend them to a smooth paste.
3. **Combine Wet Ingredients:**
In a bowl, add date puree, oil, vanilla essence and curd. Mix it well.
4. **Mix Dry Ingredients:**
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, Baking powder, cocoa powder, salt.
5. **Combine All Ingredients:**
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Then add some milk in batches and make a smooth batter. The batter should not be too thick or thin in consistency.
6. **Bake:**
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Top it with some chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. **Cool:**
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store this cake in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
