Chocolate Chip Date Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a small bowl, combine the dates and hot water. Let it sit for 10 minutes to soften the dates.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the date mixture. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve and enjoy!
