Enjoy a delicious No Maida Walnut Cake without feeling guilty because it is made without refined flour. This cake is a wonderful combination of nutty richness and health-conscious pleasure, thanks to the abundance of walnuts, which are packed with healthy nutrients.
10 medjool dates 1+ 3/4 cup milk 6 tbsp oil 6 tbsp jaggery 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1+1/4 cup wholewheat flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup dark chocolate 2 tbsp oil 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius and line a 5-inch cake tin with parchment paper. Start by removing the seeds from the dates and soak them in 1+ 3/4 cup of warm milk for 1-2 mins.
After soaking, transfer them to a blender and blend until you achieve a smooth puree. In a large bowl, combine the dates puree with the remaining oil, jaggery and vanilla extract.
Now add wholewheat flour, baking powder and baking soda to the mixture and thoroughly mix them together. Now fold in the chopped walnuts.
Transfer the batter into the lined cake tin and bake the cake for 40-45 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Meanwhile for the chocolate glaze, mix the melted dark chocolate with oil.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and let it cool. Pour the chocolate glaze on the cake when it comes to room temperature and enjoy!
