8. Pour into a greased cake pan. Bake till golden brown, for about 40 - 45 mins. Check after 35 minutes.

7. Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes and then remove from the pan and cool completely.

Notes
1. My dates sank to the bottom of the cake. To avoid that, chop the dates into small pieces and coat in some flour before adding to the batter.
2. Do not over beat the batter.
