Eggless Date/Khajur cake is a moist, rich and sugar-free recipe of cake. Yes I wrote it right, the cake is sugar-free, there is no added sugar. Still the cake is sweet and as delicious as the other cakes. The taste of the cake is very unique as the taste comes entirely from the dates. As the recipe names, Date cake, it is understood that the sweetness of the cake is added from the dates/khajur itself but how to use the dates so that the sweetness is uniformly distributed in the cake just like the sugar….let see the recipe.

- Sift the dry flour once or twice and keep it aside.
- Remove the seeds from the date & chop it roughly.
