This delicious bundt cake is a fluffy and moist dessert to be served around Christmas time in Finland. The softened dates are the secret ingredient here adding to the surprising texture and flavor. It tastes amazing, especially served alongside a cup of mulled wine or a strong coffee.

Enjoy!

The date cake is a firm favourite for Christmas coffee cakes. The delicious and flavorful cake can be stored without frosting for several weeks, with even longer preservation in the fridge.

Servings 10 servings

Ingredients
 
 

  • 130 g dried dates
  • 200 ml water
  • 125 g sugar
  • 150 g butter
  • 1 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla sugar
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 50 ml milk or light cream

Instructions
 

  • Start by removing the pits from the dates and place them in a pot together with the water, butter and sugar. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.
  • Cook the dates until they start to break apart (around 20 minutes).
  • Take the pan off the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, prepare a bundt cake pan by greasing the inside with butter and sprinkling the sides and bottom with cocoa powder and/or flour.
  • Preheat the oven to 150° C (300° F).
  • Pour the date mixture into a mixing bowl and whisk in the egg, and the milk or cream until homogenous.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, vanilla sugar, baking powder and baking soda until homogenous then gradually add it into the date mixture until a creamy batter forms.
  • Pour into the cake pan and bake for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the cake in multiple places comes out clean.
  • Take out of the oven and allow to cool before upturning it onto a platter. Optionally you can dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar.

Enjoy!
