This walnut date cake has been a favorite of my husband’s since as long as I can remember. His mother, who’s 75, always manages to bake him one every year for Christmas, though she claims it’s always his last.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds dates, pitted and chopped
- 2 pounds English walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 4 large egg yolks
- 4 large egg whites
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
Step 2
Combine dates, walnuts, flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Stir in egg yolks until combined.
Step 3
Beat egg whites in a clean, large glass or metal mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into date mixture until no streaks remain. Spoon into the prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 90 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
