ABOUT EGGLESS DATES AND DRY FRUITS CAKE WITH SALTED DATES AND CHOCOLATE GLAZE WITH CRUNCH OF ROASTED ALMONDS RECIPE

I am too fond of eggless as well as healthy baking. Whenever I have to bake, I try to make it as healthy as i can. Today's cake is not new to you all as I made it many times and posted in my blog too. This is one of my favorite eggless and alcohol free christmas cake with lots of dates and dry fruits.Theonly new thing this time is its shape , size and glaze.Earlier I made naked bundt cake every time, with this recipe .But this time I planned to bake a bigger cake and thought to try something new so gave completely different shape and baked in square cake pan instead of bundt one.For glaze I used simple milk  chocolate bar and dates syrup. It just an experiment but turned out really delicious, and is confirmed by my kids.

Ingredients Serving: 8

  1. 2 cup whole wheat flour / all purpose flour
  2. 1 tsp baking soda
  3. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  4. 1/8 tsp salt
  5. 1 cup dates, deseeded and finely chopped  
  6. 1/4 cup raisins
  7. 1/4 cup almonds
  8. 1/3 cup Oil
  9. 1 tsp vanilla essence
  10. 1 tbsp lemon juice
  11. 2 cup water
  12. 1/2 cup Sugar
  13. 1 cup milk 
  14. FOR GLAZE:
  15. 1 milk chocolate bar  ( I used cadbury milk chocolate, 90 gms)
  16. 1/2 cup dates syrup
  17. 2 pinches salt ( you can use more if like more salty)
  18. 2 tbsp chopped roasted almonds for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. First of all add water , sugar and oil in a pan. Add all dry fruits in it and let it boil, then lower the flame and let it cook for 15 -20 mins or till dates become mushy . Switch off the flame and let it cool completely.
  2. Till then sieve flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together and keep aside for later use.
  3. When dates mixture is cooled down, add milk and vanilla essence to it.  Mix well and add lemon juice, give a quick stir and add flour to it in two to three batches and fold to a lump less smooth batter.
  4.  This batter should not be runny , will be little thick . Now transfer the batter in greased and dusted pan , tap the mold to evacuate any air bubble formed. 
  5. Now bake it at 180 degree C in a preheated oven for 35-40 mins to till skewer or knife inserted in it comes out clean. Let it cool for 10-15 mins in pan then demold on a wire rack and let it cool completely.
  6. For glaze:
  7. Roughly chop the chocolate bar and melt in a double boiler or in microwave. Keep stirring in between to avoid burning it while microwaving. 
  8. Now add salt and dates syrup to it and whisk vigorously to get nice shiny and smooth glaze of pouring consistency. If it seems too thick then add some more dates syrup and mix well to get right consistency. 
  9. Sprinkle roasted and chopped almonds all over it.
  10.  Let it chill in refrigerator overnight or atleast 4-5 hrs to set the glaze.
