Dates, Walnut and Raisins Vanilla Sponge Cake

Story behind this cake is only the reason that I know how good dates and other nuts are for health, but I don't eat them as it is. So I am always in search of recipes, which use them at fullest and tasty to eat too so that I can have them. This is one such recipe  which I came up with. 

A very basic vanilla sponge cake which already is super moist and very soft. I added dates, walnuts and raisins in it to make it my own. And as they say, where there is a will, there is a way, it turned out awesome and super delicious. I hope more and more try this and experience same taste and happiness as I did. :)

Ingredients:

21/4 cups all purpose flour
2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
11/2 tsp baking powder
11/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup of dates,walnut and raisins (all in equal amount i.e. 1/6 cup each)

Recipe:

1. Preheat oven at 350 F and take your cake baking pan and cover the sides with butter and all purpose flour.
2. Take mixer bowl or any big bowl, add all purpose flour, sugar, salt, dates,walnuts, raisins, baking powder and baking soda. Mix them all well together.
3. Now add eggs, vegetable oil and milk in it.
4. In the end, add boiling water and mix everything together. Mixture will be quite thin, do not worry about it.

5. Pour the mixture in the baking pan and put it in the oven for 45 minutes. Keep doing toothpick check every 5 minutes after 30 minutes. (toothpick check is when u insert a toothpick in the center of the cake and if it comes out clean that means cake is done.)

6. Once done, take it out and let it cool down for 15 minutes.

7. When it cools down, take it out of the pan and let it cool completely. Eat it alone or with anything you like. No need of icing for this cake as it already has so many things going on that you won't feel the need for any icing on top. Have it with tea or milk. It tastes delicious with it. :)
