Dates Honey Butter less Cake

Dates Honey Butter less Cake

Hiiiiii Friends,

Hope you enjoyed yesterday's holiday very well reminding teaching of Great Gandhi Ji. Don't know what should i write about him, I think his name is enough to explain his character. A great personality. His three monkeys are world famous teaching us to stay away from all kind of bad things. Yesterday i was giving these lessons to my kids and trying to answer there endless questions.

Now to the recipe. Dates Cake, i wanted to make it since long. But in every recipe we were required to make puree of dates which was not possible for me. In other recipes i grate the ingredients required to puree but in this case i can't use this method. So i used my way to make them mushy and used my own ingredients and imagination and went ahead. Outcome was very soft, Spongy and tasty cake. I think here  condense milk was not required. I feel so, i really don't know. But if we omit CM from it then it will be totally sugar less, butter less Healthy cake. Will try and let you know. Till then try it and enjoy.

Ingredients:-

Dates- 100 gm (or 15-17 dates)

Milk - 3/4 cup

Condense Milk- 1/2 cup

Honey - 3/4 cups

Baking Pdr - 1 tsp

Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp

Method:-

Gather your ingredients

Take dates remove seeds and cap 

Heat 1 cup water and add dates in it cook till mushy

Cool it completely 

Till then prepare your pan by greasing with oil and dusting flour

Now add honey in cooled dates

then condense milk

add milk and mix well

At last mix flour in it and mix well

Tip it in prepare pan

Bake for 25 min

Notes:-

1. You can sieve boiled dates for uniform mixing, i like the tit bits of dates in cake. 
2. Add any of your favorite nuts or dry fruits in it.
3. All ingredients were just perfect, no need to increase or decrease anything. If you feel it less sweet, add more honey or condense milk.
4. Check cake after 20 min as baking time may differ in oven.

Hope you will like it

Now to the recipe. One more dish is strike off from my wish list, i wanted to make some bars for my kids. I saw so many recipes but don't know why there was not any perfect one for me. So few days back I decided to give it a try and followed my imagination and chose ingredients and went ahead. It came out so chewy. This is a absolutely flexible recipe. You can omit or add anything you like or increase or decrease any ingredient. There is no need to keep them in fridge. If keeping in fridge then take them out 10-15 min before you want to enjoy them. It was shiny, chewy, healthy and perfect for all. So guys do try them and let me know the outcome.

Melted Chocolate- 1/2 cup

Oats - 1 cup

Honey- 1/2 cup

Condense Milk-1/2 cup

Chopped Dates- 1 tbsp

Marie Biscuits- 3-4 (crush them roughly)

Method:-

Gather your ingredients

Prepare your pan with foil paper

Take melted chocolate in a bowl 

Add shining honey in it

Mix up condense milk

MIX WELL

Throw oats and chopped dates in it

Add crushed biscuits

Give it a good mix

Tip this in prepared pan and level it

Bake for 10 min on medium heat 

take out and let it completely cool 

Don't make pieces like this

 (i did this mistake ang got uneven pieces)

Now put this in fridge for 15-30 min and let it completely set

Notes:-

1. Don't cut the pieces after baking. Cut them after they become firm in the fridge. It will give you nice shape bars.
2. You can use half oats and half dates in it. Or skip dates totally.
3. You can omit condense milk, use only honey and chocolate or skip honey totally. 
4. You can use nuts, seeds, dry fruit and make it more healthy, i was trying first time so didn't used so many things.
