Tips:

  • Use high-quality dates. Look for plump, moist dates that are free of blemishes. Deglet Noor dates are a good variety to use in this cake.
  • Chop the dates finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the cake.
  • Toast the walnuts. Toasting the walnuts will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake batter, making it light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs. Adding the eggs one at a time will help to prevent the cake batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Pauline's Date Nut Cake is a moist and flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of dates, walnuts, and spices gives this cake a unique and delicious flavor.
