Of all the recipes I have tried this is the first one that has not appealed to me at all.

I truly don't see why everyone loves this-sludgy and pretty much tasteless except for the dates. I tried it because I had a big tub of dates and self-rising flour left over from another recipe, but this one is NOT going in my file.

Easy to make and delicious! I had some leftover dates and I didn't want to use eggs. It turned out great.

Great recipe! I soaked the dates in brandy for close to 6 hours before I added into the mixture... Simply superb!!

This recipe is truely fantastic, not only does always turn out moist and rich in flavour, but its not expensive or hard to make. I've made this for friends and family and you can have it sliced cool with butter or serve it hot with a toffee sauce and ice cream!

This recipe was fantastic! I modified it a little. I added an extra 1/2 cup flour, an extra 1/2 cup dates, 1/2 cup pecans and baked it for only 30 minutes.

This recipe is very nice, although it's a little bit plain. I recommend adding about a 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. I use medjool dates which, as far as I know, are the moistest and sweetest, and I'd recommend putting 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 cups of dates instead of 1 cup (if you love dates). I put 1 cup whole wheat flour and 3/4 cup white flour, which I think makes it less pudding-like and more cake-like. I also make mine in an 8X8 inch pan, so I cut the bake time down to 35-40 minutes, and I even put the temp down to about 390 instead of 400. It comes out really nice. It's still sort of plain and not very sweet, but if you like that kind of thing, you'll like this.

My family and I loved this recipe! It was very moist despite the low fat content, so I am going to push the envelope further and substitute applesauce for the butter next time.

The cake was very good and healthy. I made some substitutions and scaled to 1/2 instead of self raising flour used 1/2c all purpose flour and rest whole wheat flour, then white sugar as brown sugar was not there. It is really healthy as wheat flour was added and iron rich dates. Thumbs up!!!!
