Coffee Walnut and Dates Cake

Coffee Walnut and Dates Cakeis something you would try again. It’s super yum with even tea and has coffee of its own. The inspiration to create this recipe came from my better half who loves everything which has coffee. So ya while I love tea , he is a pure coffee fan and if I may say…Filter Coffee fan. 

So though I have tried coffee cookies but Coffee Cake was new. I also wanted Coffee taste to be subtle so this cake leaves you with a lingering coffee flavour and that’s what I love. I purposely avoided jaggery as then jaggery’s earthiness would have overpowered the coffee flavour. So unrefined sugar works best with combination of Dates. You can however increase dates quantity and reduce more sugar.

This cake was part of a family birthday celebration and while everyone is online, all we could do it make a cake and enjoy on everyone;s behalf. These lockdown times would always have some really strong memory.
