How to Make Cardamom Date Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed dates, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cardamom.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped walnuts (optional).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) before serving and enjoy!
