Date cupcake

Unusually tasty and aromatic cake with dates, cooked in the oven according to a very simple recipe. It is soft, rather juicy, does not crumble and stays fresh for a long time. The leopard cut alone is worth something!

According to the recipe for cake with dates, I use wheat flour of the highest grade, and chicken eggs are large (60-65 grams each). The fat content of milk (here 2.5%) is not important, and the amount of sugar can be slightly reduced (although the baked goods will not be sugary). Take refined vegetable oil, that is, odorless, dates - with or without a stone (whichever you prefer). Read how to make homemade baking powder for future use in this step-by-step recipe.

This homemade date cake can be prepared not only in one large mold, but also in portioned molds (silicone or metal). It is important to lay out the same amount of dough in each so that the cupcakes are baked at the same time (approximately 20 minutes, but the time depends on the characteristics of the oven).

Directions

1. To prepare this delicious and aromatic cake, we need the following ingredients: premium wheat flour, chicken eggs, sugar, milk, refined vegetable oil, dates, baking powder and salt. All foods should be at room temperature.
2. Unlike some other dried fruits (prunes, dried apricots, raisins) I don’t wash dates. We like dates with stone better - they are tastier. We remove the bones, and cut the pulp into smaller pieces. 150 grams is net weight.
3. Sift 270 grams of wheat flour into a separate bowl. Add 1 tablespoon baking powder and a pinch of salt.
4. Mix thoroughly so that the baking powder and salt are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
5. Break 3 eggs into a suitable sized deep dish and add 150 grams of granulated sugar.
6. Beat with a mixer at high speed for at least 10-12 minutes. The whipping time depends on the power of your electrician. Eggs with sugar should increase in volume many times, and sweet crystals should completely dissolve. Egg foam turns out to be stable, like a biscuit. We make a medium speed and pour in a thin stream 100 milliliters of vegetable oil.
7. After adding the oil, the egg mass will noticeably settle, but the airiness will still remain. Pour in 100 ml of milk and stir.
8. Add the flour mixture in one go and quickly combine it with the liquid base. You can use a spatula or a very short time with a mixer. Cupcake dough does not like long stirring.
9. The result is a delicate, creamy muffin dough. It is not very thick, does not keep its shape well, but it does not flow much either.
10. It remains to add chopped dates.
11. In 4-5 movements, mix the filler into the dough and you're done.
12. We grease the baking dish (mine with a hole) with literally a teaspoon of refined vegetable oil and transfer the dough into it.
13. We bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes. The baking time largely depends on the shape and size, as well as the characteristics of the oven. I have electric, bottom heating, no convection. She made the cake with dates in 47 minutes. Be sure to check the doneness with a wooden skewer or toothpick - it should come out of the dough dry.
14. Let the finished cake stand for 5 minutes in the form, after which we easily take it out and completely cool it on a wooden board or wire rack.
15. This simple recipe makes homemade date muffins unusually tasty and aromatic. It is soft, rather juicy, does not crumble and stays fresh for a long time.
