This is a good cake with somewhat moist texture. It is not too sweet but has a unique taste. Serve with ice cream or as you wish.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • 1 (8 ounce) package dried pitted dates, diced

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda, divided

  • ⅓ cup boiling water

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour

  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee

  • 2 teaspoons milk powder

  • 2 tablespoons boiling water

  • 1 ¾ cups white sugar

  • 1 cup margarine

  • 1 ½ tablespoons margarine

  • 4 large eggs

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  2. Place dates in a bowl. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon baking soda on top and mix well. Add 1/3 cup boiling water, stir, and set aside until dates have swelled, about 10 minutes. Squeeze with your hands to remove most of the liquid.

  3. Meanwhile, mix flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda together in a bowl. Combine instant coffee, milk powder, and 2 tablespoons boiling water in a separate bowl; mix until dissolved.

  4. Beat sugar, margarine, and eggs together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well blended. Add coffee mixture and dates; beat until well mixed. Gradually mix in flour. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
