Carrot Dates Cake

My husband asked me last Sunday , if I had any cake to have with his coffee. "Some carrot or Date cake?"
I had baked none and I felt bad. So yesterday I baked a carrot - dates cake.

Preheat oven to 180C for 10 minutes

Ingredients:
Carrot grated - 1 cup
Dates - 1/2 cup , chopped
All purpose flour - 2 cups
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Egg - 3
Sugar - 1 cup
Oil / Butter - 3/4 cup
Milk - 1/2 cup

Method:
Grease, line and again grease a cake tin.
Sieve together the flour and soda.
Take some of this flour and dust the carrot and dates, so that they do not sink while baking.

Beat the oil and sugar well.
Then beat in eggs one at a time.
Now add in the flour and fold well.
At last add the carrot and dates.
If the mixture is too thick, add the milk little at a time to loosen.
Pour batter into the prepared tin.

Bake for 45 minutes.
Insert a tooth pick in the center to see if it is baked.
Otherwise bake for a further 5-10 minutes.
Cool, unmould and serve.
