Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the chopped dates in a heatproof bowl. Pour the boiling water over the dates and let them soak for about 10 minutes until softened.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter using an electric mixer until smooth.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Step 5
Mix in the vanilla extract, then stir in the soaked date mixture (including any remaining water) until well combined.
Step 6
In another bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 7
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 8
Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 9
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 11
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Serve the cake plain or with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream if desired. Enjoy your delicious sugar-free classic date cake!
