An easy one-bowl Eggless Dates Walnut Cake, mildly sweet and low-fat can be served with a hot cup of coffee/tea. Make this Egg-free Dates Walnut Bundt Cake at home with this easy recipe.
I am so glad I made this Eggless Dates Walnut Cake today, which I had been postponing for no reason all along... The most exciting part of this cake is that its eggless and uses only oil - that too very less compared to any other eggless cakes. This would be perfect for the tea/coffee time. I love making cakes that use only natural ingredients and this is one such cake that uses fresh dates. Now see for yourself how healthy and low calorie this version of date cake would be - no eggs, no butter, less oil and uses a lot of fresh dates. This cake turns out to be very moist, extra soft and just melts in the mouth. I would suggest the beginners in baking to try out this cake as its very easy and nothing can go wrong. Check out the other Eggless Cakes too!
I re-made this cake recently in my new mini-bundt pan and clicked some pictures too. I usually dont mind my old blog pictures (although some are cringeworthy now) just because they show me how much have I grown. But then, as my good friend Vidhya mentions, it is always better to keep your blog current and up-to-date. So I am making a conscious effort to re-do some of the older blog recipes and update them with the latest pictures.

What kind of frosting can we put on top ?
Ramya
I would simply dust some icing sugar or make a sugar glazing - mix 2 or 3 tbsp icing sugar with a tsp of milk or water. And you can drizzle it on top. I don't think any other frosting would work as this is supposed to be a tea cake.
