Steps:
- For the Cake: With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Butter and flour a 20-cm (8-inch) springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, bring the water, dates, butter and baking soda to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate until lukewarm, about 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, couscous and baking powder. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture turns pale, triples in volume and falls from the beaters in a ribbon, about 10 minutes. Using a spatula, gently fold in the dry ingredients then the date mixture.
- Pour into the springform pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 65 minutes.
- Let cool. Run the blade of a thin knife around the inside of the pan. Unmould and let cool on a rack.
- For the Icing: In a bowl, beat the sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

[email protected]This cake is a great way to use up leftover couscous. It's also a nice change of pace from the usual chocolate or vanilla cake.

[email protected]I would make this cake again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less sugar, and I would add some spices, like cinnamon or nutmeg, to give it more flavor.

[email protected]This cake was a disaster! The texture was dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I got a bad batch of couscous?
Laura Cronick
[email protected]This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The texture was great and the dates added a nice flavor. Overall, it's a good recipe, but I might reduce the amount of sugar next time.

[email protected]Just made this cake and it turned out great! I used whole wheat couscous and it still came out moist and flavorful. The dates added a nice sweetness and the orange glaze was the perfect finishing touch. Will definitely make this again!
