Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe dates. This will ensure that your cake is moist and flavorful.
  • Toast the nuts before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gradually, alternating with the milk. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
