This Easy Date Cake is a moist and flavorful dessert that combines the natural sweetness of dates with a hint of spice—perfect for any occasion! 🍰✨

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup pitted dates, chopped
    • 1 cup boiling water
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    Instructions

    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
    2. Prepare Dates: In a bowl, combine the chopped dates and boiling water. Stir in the baking soda and let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften.
    3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
    5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
    6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the date mixture. Mix until just combined.
    7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your Easy Date Cake! ❤️🍽️
