Notes

  1. If you like getting pieces of dates in between you can grind them a bit coarse.
  2. If you want you can reduce oil quantity a little bit and increase same qty milk . ie if you have reduced 2 tbsp oil qty increase milk quantity by 2 tbsp.
  3. Color of the cake depends on the dates color.
  4. For a healthier version replace maida with wheat flour. But it would be little dense.
