Delizioso chef !

[@skincareaddicted]

To keep the cake lower carb, I just made this subbing allulose for the white sugar and brown swerve for the brown sugar glaze. I used a round pan like yours and baking time was 39 minutes to perfection. It’s so delicious, truly one of the best cakes I’ve made. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe, can’t wait to make it for the holidays!

Hey guys... i tried this today. It was the simplest cake i ever made, and it was surprisingly soft moist and veryyyy tasty. The bake time was the exact amount of time specified in the video an i used a 2" pie dish. Awesum!!

[@Recipesaresimple]

Thank you so much @HOT PINK 🌹

[@priyankrao84]

Fail proof, excellent recipe. This makes a very moist and delicious cake. The topping is a must for this cake. I just reduced the amount of brown sugar as per my taste but this recipe will be incomplete without the glaze. Thanks so much. My guests were raving about for

[@chandranimazumdar2928]

I opened this video because it showed less than 6 min. And wowwwwww!! Amazing. Straight forward no talking no confusing bits. Good job 👍

[@asavesnaeva]

Thank you for the recipe. Yesterday I baked this cake based on your recipe but....after reading some comments etc. I made kind of a fusion. Like soaking dates in coffee, adding coffee liquor and spices (cinnamon and nutmeg) using a deep glass container. It proved to work but had to bake approximately 50 Minutes before done. Very delicious! Thanks again for getting me started and also to those who brought in their recommendations.

[@pqf30]

Made this today for easter. The syrup/sauce makes a difference. everyone loved it and I cut the sugar by half. Thank you, was delicious.

[@Recipesaresimple]

Glad to hear it! Happy Easter

[@nnnnnnnnnnn7292]

You don't need any sugar here at all. The dates do the sweetening! And the sauce is very sweet.

[@nehadukhande8904]

Wonderful recipe.. Tried with exact same instructions.. However found the icing very sweet.. loved the original taste of the cake.. Next time making it without adding the icing.. Also my cake took almost 35-40 mins to bake..

[@leolathomas1829]

Nothing like an old fashion date cake. Thanks for sharing.

[@dolfinlvr2004]

Made it! I toasted my walnuts and pecans before adding them to the batter and I made a creamed frosting dusted with coconut flakes :)

[@Recipesaresimple]

Sounds great!!❣️

[@bt4666]

My modifications: - Use hot whole milk instead of boiled water (I reduced the amount a little bit). - Add 125 ml of thick cream to liquid ingredients. - 1 3/4 cup of all purpose flour (instead of one). - Three medium eggs (instead of one). - One tablespoon of cinnamon to dry ingredients (more or less to your taste). - Reduce the amount of sugar to less than 1/2 cup (I think it’s enough but you can add more to your taste). - Instead of icing, I made a topping mixture which is: Two tablespoons of butter on a hot pan to make brown butter then add 1/3 cup of sliced almonds (you can use chopped pecans instead) and 3-4 tablespoons of brown sugar, mix all together for 5 min on a medium heat. Distribute the mixture on the top of cack butter just before baking. * It took 35 min in my oven. And ooh It was really really good and moist especially when it’s warm. Thank you very much for this amazing recipe that inspired me 🙏🏻

[@saritagomes2548]

B T tried out your method only I added quarter teaspoon cardamom powder...turned out excellent...thanks! By the way added only a tbsp of brown sugar with the butter...dates added the rest of the sweetness

[@nabal79]

Hello, I just made this cake but I am afraid the changes I made did not it justice. I would really appreciate your feedback: 1. I used 1/2 cup of olive oil instead 2. Omitted sugar completely 3. I used ready made date paste with the same amount of water (I already had the paste), 4. added orange zest, cinnamon and cocoa (but I am happy with the additions). Can you advise on alternatives with no sugar and olive oil?

[@Recipesaresimple]

Ready made date paste and olive oil would certainly change the taste a lot. I never played around with this recipe since it’s such a favourite. How was the texture of your cake? I will work on a sugar free cake soon.

[@nabal79]

@@Recipesaresimple The batter was very watery so I guess we need more flour or maybe whisk more the oil. It is delicious but it ended up like a pudding more than a cake. It did not rise enough and needed more baking time.

[@HaYrishRBLX]

I tried this one yesterday, turned out very good. Thankyou.

[@fariaansari3220]

Made this cake and it turned out so moist. Making it again 3 days later!

Do you pour the syrup after the cake has completely cooled or while it's still warm? Thank you!

[@Recipesaresimple]

The cake is rested for awhile but it doesn’t have to be completely cooled off before adding the icing.

Just made this cake... it dropped. I think because of the dates. May I suggest soaking the dates overnight... skinning them.. then coat with flour. The taste of good. May add more flour too.

That recipe is from the fifties and it's called the Elisabeth cake. It was first made for queen Elizabeth who was visiting Montreal. The nuts may vary and I usually add coconut to the mixture and the topping.

It looks delicious... can i make a honey syrup instead of the icing or would it make the cake too moist??

[@Recipesaresimple]

You could if you like the taste of honey.. just a drizzle..should be fine

[@aleponzo4024]

Had to bake it for 40 min but otherwise fabulous! The syrup works with milk too if you don't have heavy cream.

[@nikitennison1072]

I think it needs orange zest and some orange juice, and think I'll try to find some way to tweak it. Also, when you have walnuts, why add almonds?

[@Recipesaresimple]

I dont think it needs any juice.. the flaked almonds are better for topping than raw walnuts

[@FutureCommentary1]

One of the recipes I have has orange zest. Also date soaked in strong coffee

[@LadyBirch]

I think pecans

[@megsarna7429]

ya, orange zing will balance d over sweetness of dates ' dryness of nuts.

You could try the Flaxmeal "Egg" for each "Egg" you mix 1 Tablespoon of raw ground flax meal with 2.5 Tablespoons of warm water. Mix and let sit for 5 min. Then add as the egg substitute. Hope you try it. 😊

What Can we add to make it without egg.

You could try the ground flax meal method. As suggested by one of our subscribers.. for one egg take one tbsp flax meal . Add to 2.5tbsp of water , stir and rest fir 5 minutes. Then use instead of egg. I hv not used this method let me know your results if you do please👍

I have a New Zealand cookbook from the 1920s which has a cake very much like this, but with the dates soaked in hot coffee rather than water, and with spices. It's a version I highly recommend. The recipe is cut from later editions of the book, which is crazy and unfortunate.
