1cupchopped almondsdivided
1/2cupoilI used olive oil
1/2cupsweetened condensed milk
1 1/4teaspoonbaking powder

Instructions
Soak pitted dates in 1 cup hot water. Soak for around an hour.
Preheat oven at 180C.
Take condensed milk and oil in a mixing bowl. Add vanilla essence and mix well till the mixture turns light.
Sieve baking powder, baking soda and whole wheat flour well. Add this dry mixture to wet ingredients and whisk well.
Drain the soaking dates and add to the flour mixture. Add 1/2 cup of chopped almonds to the batter and mix well.
Take a 7 inch round cake. Grease and dust it well. I dusted it with cocoa powder. Pour the cake batter and tap well.
Add the remaining chopped almonds all over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes.
Once done and a tester comes out with very few crumbs at multiple places, remove the cake tin from oven. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
Now remove the cake from tin and gently flip so that the nuts topping is visible. Allow the cake to cool thoroughly before slicing. Serve dates cake with coffee.
Notes
1. You can melted butter in place of oil 2. You ca use maida instead of wheat flour
