How to Make Date Bran Cake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup bran cereal, ½ cup water, 1 large egg, ½ cup molasses, and ¼ cup vegetable oil. Mix lightly and let stand for 30-45 minutes at room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 cup pitted chopped dates. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds.
- Add the bran mixture to the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 (3x4) equal portions.
- Serve 1 square per serving. Enjoy!
