Muneeza’s Date and Walnut Cake Recipe

This date and walnut cake is one my mother would lovingly bake for us growing up.  It incorporates a lot of the flavors of the Middle East.  The smell of this cake cooking for my own girls takes me right back to my childhood – I love how warm smells can bring us back to happy memories.

Instructions
 

  • Heat your oven to 350 F on the bake setting.
  • Cut the dates into very small pieces and sprinkle the baking soda on them, and mix well.
  • Prep your chia egg recipe.
  • Put about 5 Tbsp of water to soak the dates and soak them overnight (or a minimum of 4-5 hours).
  • With a fork, press on the dates to mash them.
  • Place the flour, baking powder, arrowroot flour into a bowl.
