- Don't over mix after adding the dry ingredients, fold them for 10-15 seconds.
- This dates cake stays well for four days at room temperature and keeps good for a week if stored in the refrigerator.
- You could use any nuts of your choice instead of walnuts.
- Mixing and measurements are most important for the perfect cake.

Thank you so much for the recipe. I always make whole wheat cake for my daughter, but it contains lot of sugar. So I was thinking about a healthy alternative. Jaggery came into my mind, butI thought the cake would taste weird. Dates are great alternative. Thank you so much for the revipe.
