Chocolate Date Cake
Ingredients
Step 1/ 9
Set oven to 170°C
Step 2/ 9
- ⅓ cups water (hot)
- ⅓ cups pitted dates
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
Boil the water. In a bowl, pour boiling water and 1 tsp baking soda over dates and set aside for one hour.
Step 3/ 9
- ⅓ cups flour
- ⅛ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
In a separate bowl, sift flour, cocoa, 1 tsp baking soda, and salt
Step 4/ 9
- ⅛ cup butter
- ⅛ cup honey
Using an electric mixer cream the butter and honey
Step 5/ 9
- ⅓ eggs
- ⅓ tsp vanilla extract
Scrape down sides and add eggs, one at a time. Once fully combined add in the vanilla extract
Step 6/ 9
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients mixture
Step 7/ 9
- ⅛ cup chocolate chip (optional)
To add the dates, transfer to a blender and blend them till they turn into a paste. You can also use a handheld blender and blend them straight in the bowl - I don’t blend them the whole way, so it leaves some chunks in the bread. Fold in the date paste into the mixture and chocolate chips (if using)
Step 8/ 9
Pour into bread loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, check the cake around 50-55 minutes since ovens may vary. When checking the bread with a toothpick, keep in mind the batter is full of chocolate chips in case you get a lot of chocolate on the toothpick. Remove bread when the toothpick comes out clean.
Step 9/ 9
Allow to cool on a wire rack or 15-20 minutes before removing from the pan. Enjoy when cooled.
Enjoy your meal!
