A good DATE CAKE recipe I found and tried out!!

Ingredients
Dates - 100 gms /18 nos
Milk - 3/4 cup
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Maida - 1 cup
Oil - 1/2 cup
Baking soda - 1 tspn
Chopped cashew - 1 tblspn (optional)
Method
De seed the dates. Soak the dates in warm milk for an hour. This will make the dates soft and easier to grind. Depending on the type of dates you use, the soaking time can vary. Add sugar to the soaked dates mix and grind them to a fine paste. Add oil to the ground mixture and keep it aside.
Sift maida and baking soda. Slowly stir in the flour to liquid mixture. Add nuts and mix. Transfer to a greased tin and bake in a preheated oven at 190 C for 40 minutes or till a skewer inserted comes out clean.
