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.


Until next time,

    1. Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it!! I'm not sure about egg replacement. You could try with flax seed goop or yogurt. Since I've never used it, I can't comment on it. Sorry!
