Perfect for a cultural celebration or just as a comforting treat with tea, Persian Date Cake offers deep flavor and nutritional benefits in every bite.

Moist Persian Date Cake with a Rich Cinnamon and Cardamom Spice

dates, pitted and chopped

sugar

unsalted butter, softened

all-purpose flour

cardamom

milk

vanilla extract

½ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

honey (for glazing)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a small bowl, combine chopped dates and ½ cup of water. Microwave for 1–2 minutes until softened, then mash into a paste.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then stir in the mashed date paste, milk, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level the top.

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Warm the honey slightly and brush it over the hot cake for a glossy finish.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

1st go and turned out perfect.  We made it to take away on a picnic for my husband and I.  Better then any cake I've had in a cafe.
