Rinse the dried red dates and ✂️remove the cores
Add 100g of pitted red dates to 150g of water and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes to soften the red dates.
Finally, boil the water dry and let cool ~the cooked red dates are about 170g
Put the boiled red dates into a blender and blend into a puree. It doesn't matter if it's a little grainy.
Put the eggs, yogurt, cooking oil, brown sugar, and salt into a container and mix well ~(Sam's ingredient list says rapeseed oil, which I don't have at home, so I used corn oil)
Add red date puree
Mix well
After mixing the flour + baking powder + baking soda powder, sift and add
Stir roughly until evenly mixed, don't over mix.
Finally add chopped walnuts and mix well
Put the batter into the mold, and sprinkle some walnut kernels on top for decoration(I use an 18*9*7cm pound cake mold. It can be easily unmolded by covering it with baking paper or coating it with oil and flour in advance) Put it into the oven preheated to 180°C and bake for about 40 minutes. ⚠️Every oven has different firepower. Adjust the time as appropriate until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out without any stickiness. ⚠️Bake for about 10 minutes. After the surface is crusted, take it out, use a knife to cut a line in the middle of the batter, and then put it in the oven to continue baking. This will make the cake expand more beautifully and have a natural crack~⚠️Pay attention during the process. After the surface is baked and colored, it needs to be covered with tin foil. , to prevent the color from being too dark The fragrant jujube paste walnut cake comes out of the oven,unmolds it and places it on the baking rack to cool
Cut it open, and there are walnuts in each slice, so fragrant
Pieces of jujube are rich in flavor, low in fat and delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness
It’s great to have one for breakfast or afternoon tea☕
