Today, I made Egyptian date cake as part of monthly calendar challenge.
It didn't really go to plan but it looks ok. I will be testing it out on my class tomorrow as part of our Egyptian day so I will post their comments! I left out the nuts and ended up burning it slightly! However I learnt to separate egg whites, which was easier than it looked (I was using a special separator thing!)
Here are photos and the recipe.
 |
| Chop the dates (300g) |
 |
| Mix with brown sugar (125g) |
 |
| Separate egg whites (4) |
 |
| Mix in egg yolks, caster sugar (25g), cornflower (3 tbs), butter (40g) orange rind and tbs orange juice |
 |
| Fold in the egg whites |
 |
| Add to a greased and papered cake tin. Cook for 35-45 minutes in 200 oven. |
VIOLA! Enjoy a slightly burnt date cake!!
