And this one is to satisfy my sweet, I don’t use any sweetener in this recipe. Instead I use natural sweetness of dates to get the mild sweet flavor in this recipe. This recipe is loaded with good fatty acids and high protein nuts. Dates are a rich source of calcium, Phosphorous, minerals and fruit sugar. I use oat flour for making this cake just to make it fit in my Marcos, though all purpose flour should be used for better fluffy cake. But don’t worry it still come out very moist and delicious and taste so good. A very good guilt free cake recipe to include in your breakfast or snacks time.
