For an enhanced flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before chopping. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Medjool dates provide a richer, caramel-like sweetness, but other varieties can be used if preferred. To prevent the dates from sticking together, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the mixture. If the cake begins to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with foil. Store the cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Dec 21, 2024The cake was a little dry for me. Next time, I might add a bit of applesauce to the batter to increase the moisture.
