Arabic Coffee Cake with Dates

Stone and chop dates and place them in a bowl with 100 ml of boiling water. Leave for about 30 minutes until cool and well-soaked, then mash a bit with a fork.

In a bowl, mix Nestlé® Sweetened Condensed Milk with the eggs, then add the date mixture and the dissolved coffee. Mix well and set aside.

In another bowl, mix the butter, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon and wheat flour until well combined. Add this to the flour mixture and mix to combine it all together.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for 40–45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Once the cake cools down, sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
