Microwave Eggless Date and Walnut Cake

Ingredients
12 dates, pitted and chopped
1 1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda (not baking powder)
12 walnuts, chopped

Method
1. Boil the milk in a saucepan. Remove from heat.

2. Add the dates and let it stand until cool.

3. When cool put into a blender or food processor and process or blend until the dates are ground.

4. Add the oil into blender/food processor and blend/process again until incorporated and mixture becomes thick. Add sugar to the mixture in the blender/food processor and blend until incorporated.

5. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl. Seive flour and baking soda well. Fold in the flour until it is mixed well. Add chopped walnuts.

Note: You can at this point add a little more milk in case you find the batter a little thick. The batter should be of pouring consistency like most cake batters.

6. Pour batter into a greased glass microwavable dish.

7. Place in microwave and bake for 10 to 11 minutes on High.

Serve cake warm or cold with chilled Vanilla Custard for a dessert version of this cake.
