How to make eggless cake easily at home.

Eggless dates walnut coffee cake recipe – a very easy and tasty recipe. even a beginner in baking can make this cake easily.

dates & walnut cake has always been a favorite. during christmas or easter. we would always buy the cakes ready from the bakeries. the eggless dates walnut coffee cake i had wanted to make from so long. i had dates as well as walnuts but never got to making a cake with them.

Apart from flavors of dates, walnuts, i have also added instant bru coffee. some cacao nibs also went in the cake. overall the cake was one delicious cake with a coffee and chocolaty taste.

however, adding coffee and cacao nibs are optional and you can just make the cake with walnuts and dates. but then coffee adds it own charm and flavor to the cake. you can easily add small chocolate chips in the cake instead of cacao nibs.

cacao nibs are pieces of raw cocoa beans that have been shelled and roasted. they are crunchy and taste a bit like coffee as well as chocolate. they are an excellent source of anti oxidants, fibre and have a lot of nutrients.

i found them expensive, but any imported stuff will be expensive in india…. and for health reasons, i don’t mind spending  some extra money.
