It’s been a couple of weeks since I have updated this space…. I was busy
with shifting our apartment and settling down in the
new home… Still I have a lot to unpack and I am only cooking some basic stuff
just to survive ;)… Today just to relax, I thought of posting this easy one bowl chocolate date cake
recipe that I made recently… The
batter is completely prepared in a saucepan, and that means you only need to
wash up one bowl!.... Dates add moistness to this dark, fudgy cake…. and this cake
goes very well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream…. A great dessert for a
party with little effort :)…
