Delicious and spongy dates cake without using oven
Sponge cakes are so easy to make and requires no special ingredients. We can make sponge cakes with carrot,beetroot,dates etc…I have already posted some easy to make cake recipes like Easy Carrot Cake,Beetroot cake and Carrot cake with chocolate icing. All these three cakes are made in pressure cooker.
Dates cake is very healthy and for sweetness I have added honey. Only 3 tbsp. of sugar is required for this cake,because sweetness of dates is enough for this cake. You can also replace the whole quantity of sugar with honey. Hope you all will try this easy dates cake

Hi sumi…Yes it is. I have added coco powder to get more brown color to this dates cake and it is optional too.
