Date Cake

Easy and delicious and dates are so underrated! Just tried this today and it was a hit!
This would go well with a scoop of ice cream on the side 🙂 Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup dried dates potted and chopped
1 cup butter
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
5 1/2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 teaspoons baking powder

Directions
Put the dates and the milk into a casserole and heat until the dates soften a bit then take off the heat.
Add the butter and let it melt then add the sugar and vanilla. Let the mixture cool.
Add the eggs one by one into the cool mixture whisking very well.
Then add the dry ingredients that mixed in another bowl first.
Pour the batter into a well greased (or silicone) bundt cake pan and bake at 350F for about 1 hour or until a tester comes out clean.
