DATE NUT TORTE



Date Nut Torte image

Whether I serve my torte with coffee at a luncheon or in the evening when friends visit, I always get compliments. My husband (we've been married 42 years), three children and five grandchildren are all good eaters, and it's a joy to prepare this dessert for them, too! Cooking is something I've always enjoyed. I also like sewing, quilting and gardening. My husband and I travel by trailer as often as we can, and we're members, too, of group called "Laborers for Christ" that helps congregations build churches and schools.

In the process of making this easy dessert right now. I have the base made and it is delicious. Who knew Raw could be so good!!!! Found the recipe by Alice Cohen The Raw Food Diet. Can't wait to serve it up! Prep time does not include soaking time. Edited to add- I just made this again for my DIL and found it is much prettier with chopped walnuts on top.

Categories     Cake     Nut     Bake     Date

Yield makes one 8-inch (20-cm) square cake; 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups (12 ounces/340 g) pitted dates, quartered
1 cup (100 g) walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 cup (140 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon aniseed
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
3 tablespoons (45 ml) orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting the cake

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch (20-cm) square cake pan, dust it with flour, and tap out any excess.
  • In a small bowl, use your fingers to toss together the dates, walnuts, and 1 tablespoon of the flour, breaking up the sticky date pieces.
  • In another small bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, the baking powder, and salt. Crush the aniseed in a mortar and pestle or seal them inside a sturdy plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Add the crushed seeds to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, orange juice, and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture, then the date-nut mixture just until combined.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake until the top is light golden brown and the cake feels just barely firm in the center, about 40 minutes.
  • Heavily dust the warm or room-temperature cake with powdered sugar. Cut into squares right in the cake pan.
  • Storage
  • The cake will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature.
