Hello everyone. It has been a while since my last post. I will not give you a recipe for this post, since it was a complimentary dish from a dearest person. All I can say is that it was delicious!
Date and Almond, Square Cake
It’s been ages since I
last posted a cake recipe. Yesterday I had a million of things to do but I was
feeling I had to do something for you as well.
I decided to create a
date/almond cake that would be easy to prepare, and perfect with a cup of tea!
It took me approximately 5’ minutes to gather all ingredients and 10’ minutes to prepare the cake. Very
easy, isn't it?

ReplyDeleteI love dates(!) and always have almonds in the freezer.
I do need a quick cake sometimes and then I have trouble finding a good recipe.
Thanks for this one :)
It looks delicious. We don't see dates in Greek supermarkets often except during the Christmas period and then they are quite expensive so I don't buy them often.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I sooooo agree, it does look like it's be great with a strong brew! It looks so tasty and so moist too. Yummy
