For a richer flavor, try using Medjool dates. Their caramel-like sweetness will elevate the cake. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour with 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream makes a perfect accompaniment.
