To start with Preheat oven to 350F  OR 175C and keep it ready….

Heat 1 cup of milk in microwave for a 1 minute and keep all the dates pitted. (using sweet dates will be really good)

Soak the dates in that hot milk for few minutes.    EGGLESS MANGO  MUG CAKE 

Meanwhile assemble all the dry ingredients… all purpose flour, baking soda, coffee powder, cinnamon & salt. Sieve if you prefer…

I just whisked them to mix.  EGGLESS TWO MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

Add in dark brown sugar and whisk gently.  EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE 

Add in oil…

Add in the hot milk from the dates… reserving the dates separately.

You may either grind the dates with milk to chop the dates or lightly pulse in a food processor. I would like to see teeny tiny bits of that dates in my cake so i lightly pulsed it. Add that to the mixture.

Add in vanilla extract along with chopped nuts and use a spatula to gently fold in.

Lightly grease a 9×5 loaf tin and stick a parchment paper in it. Pour the mixture… it will cover about little more than half the tin. Gently tap a bit to settle.  EGGLESS SPONGE CAKE

Top it with more nuts….

Bake it for 40 minutes…. i have used convection mode in my microwave, otg works or simple use your regular oven. Oven temperature and timing varies… mine took 1 hour and 10 minutes.

After the first 40 minutes, take it out the do the knife testing. Insert a knife and see whether its perfectly cooked inside.

If your knife comes out clean, then… switch off the oven and let the cake cool completely. If its comes out with uncooked batter sticking to it, then give it another 15 minutes and repeat the test. Like I said mine took more than and hour… suggesting this test because there chances that the outer may brown too fast.

Once done, cool completely in an wire rack. EGGLESS STAWBERRY CAKE  

Cut into slices and enjoy with a cup of coffee!   EGGLESS NAN KHATAI

Notes

• Makes one loaf  (used 9×5 loaf tin)
• Oven temperature varies… baked mine in an convection mode microwave… it took about 1 hour and 10 minutes. You may bake for 40 minutes and do the knife test and then increase the time accordingly.
• Using brown sugar gives beautiful dark brown color to the cake… regular white sugar, light brown sugar works too.
• Using instant coffee powder adds that breakfast kind of feel to the taste… i have used regular nescafe instant coffee powder.
• Adding nuts are optional… avoid if you are allergic to it.  Combination of nuts work, simple walnut or pecans will be good too.
