Thank you! Delicious recipe. One thing worth mentioning is that the eggs need to be added once the dry fruit mixture has cooled. Otherwise, we might have scrambled eggs.
Wow Ruchik... awesome...I make my dates walnut cake same way...but will surely try this recipe....you come into my house every Christmas 😀 with your amazing Christmas cake .... Thank you for the lovely recipes you give us.... Happy Holidays dear... God bless you 💕💕💕
Egg substitute for 1 egg is as follows. For 2 eggs multiply accordingly 1/4 cup mashed bananas 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce 2 tablespoons water + 2 teaspoons baking powder + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 1 tablespoon agar agar + 1 tablespoon water (mix & use immediately) 1 tablespoon flaxseed powder + 3 tablespoons water (whisk & use) 1 tablespoon chia seeds + 3 tablespoons water (mix and let it sit for 12-15 minutes) 1/4 cup yogurt or buttermilk
Hi Smitha, I have never tried this recipe with fresh figs. Since they are more moist, the consistency may change and the baking time too. I guess you can give it a try. Just reduce the quantity of the wet ingredients. All the best!
@@ruchikrandhap in the recipe, you added unsalted butter and then added a pinch of salt so can i just use salted butter and avoid adding that pinch of salt?
The salt that I added is just a pinch...not sure how much is in the salted butter, but I don't think it should be a problem. Just mentioned that it may affect the sweetness.
Baking soda helps break down the figs and disperse them evenly in the batter. Another answer I found on the internet is a bit more scientific. This was for dates that are cooked with a bit of baking soda. I’m pasting it here for your reference. Credit goes to the person who gave this explanation “baking soda is mildly alkaline and dates have tannin and are astringent; the baking soda neutralizes the astringency and removes or lessens the tannin bitterness”
Amazing recipe 👍👍👌👌😍😍😍My both parents are diabetic. I made this cake for them today and they loved it 😍😍 I loved it too coz it satisfies my sugar craving without bad sugar. I just wanted to ask if I can make it with dates only .. Thanks a lot. God bless 🌹🌹🌹
I haven't made an eggless version of this cake but you can replace each egg with 1tbsp flaxseed powder dissolved in 3tbsp warm water - keep for 10 mins till it looks slightly frothy and then use
What's the replacement for honey. And you are pouring it when mixture is hot, do we pour honey this way, hope that's OK. I would still prefer alternative for honey in this recipe
@@ruchikrandhap Yeah, that was the old story. Now everyone knows that honey is as bad. For the same nutrients one can eat any piece of fruit, a bit of honey is insignificant when it comes to providing nutrition. I thought this recipe was with just figs as a sweetner. A little misleading.
Good to know abt that, you must be a nutritionist. Just to be clear the title mentions that it is a fig cake with no added sugar and that it is naturally sweet. In the description I have written "This naturally sweetened cake is delicately flavoured and packed with the goodness of figs, dates & honey" so it is not a recipe that is masquerading as a 'healthy' one as the recipe also uses maida/refined flour. So in my opinion I did not mislead anyone.
ARE YOU NUTS? THAT WAS THE BEST OF THE VIDEO, i WATCHED IT 3 TIMES JUST FOR THE MUSIC!!!!...WELL, I GUESS NOT EVERYONE HAS SOPHISTICATED EARS LIKE SOME OF US....
Hi Johnson, thanks! Yes, I mentioned it as healthier and not healthy as such but I get your point. I have deleted it now :) Do not want to mislead anyone with the term
@@ruchikrandhap Thanks Shireen. I am your fan. I follow your many recipes from your website. Pakka mangalorean. Ive learnt to make chicken curries, sukka, fish curries, valche baji, mandas, manni etc from you. Thanks again.
Well, I wouldn't replace maida 100% with whole wheat flour as the latter makes the cakes dense. I would replace a part of it, but ofcourse whatever works is good :)
First, let's assuage the most serious concern - no, heating honey will not turn it toxic and kill you. Heating up raw honey will change the makeup of the honey, and potentially weaken or destroy enzymes, vitamins, minerals, etc (more on this in a second) but it will not give you a horrible disease or poison you.
I had some figs that needed to be used. I made this cake for my husband and he LOVED it!!!!! I have now made it 3 times!! Thank you for this recipe.
So so glad to know that you loved this recipe, thanks a lot for letting me know!
Awesome sugar free cake. I will definitely make it.
Thank you so much!!
Looks beautiful and yummy
Thanks a lot!
Thank you! Delicious recipe. One thing worth mentioning is that the eggs need to be added once the dry fruit mixture has cooled. Otherwise, we might have scrambled eggs.
Hi, thanks a lot! Yes, I have mentioned that the mixture needs to be cooled slightly. The eggs don't scramble unless the mixture is boiling hot
Superb
Thanks a lot!
Looks so easy👍
Thanks a lot!
Looks so yummy I can hardly wait to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing it :)
My pleasure 😊 Hope you enjoy making and eating it!
@@ruchikrandhapThank you for replying. I did enjoy baking it and eating it 😄 I just had my last piece yesterday, and it was delicious :)
That’s wonderful!! Happy to hear that you enjoyed it - thank you for sharing your feedback! Much appreciated!

Two eggs ka substitute plz
Egg substitute for 1 egg is as follows. For 2 eggs multiply accordingly
1/4 cup mashed bananas
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons water + 2 teaspoons baking powder + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon agar agar + 1 tablespoon water (mix & use immediately)
1 tablespoon flaxseed powder + 3 tablespoons water (whisk & use)
1 tablespoon chia seeds + 3 tablespoons water (mix and let it sit for 12-15 minutes)
1/4 cup yogurt or buttermilk
I don't have any dates...could I substitute with raisins? Looks scrumptious!!
I don’t think raisins would be the ideal substitute. You could try with prunes instead
hi Shireen,can I use fresh figs since I have them with me
Hi Smitha, I have never tried this recipe with fresh figs. Since they are more moist, the consistency may change and the baking time too. I guess you can give it a try. Just reduce the quantity of the wet ingredients. All the best!
Hello mam can I skip honey and can I use only fig
Honey gives the sweetness...if you skip it, it may not taste good but it is your choice.
Can we use salted butter instead of unsalted one?
You can but that may further affect the sweetness of the cake as we are not using any sugar to bake this cake
@@ruchikrandhap in the recipe, you added unsalted butter and then added a pinch of salt so can i just use salted butter and avoid adding that pinch of salt?
The salt that I added is just a pinch...not sure how much is in the salted butter, but I don't think it should be a problem. Just mentioned that it may affect the sweetness.
@@ruchikrandhap okay okay.. thank you so much!
P.S. i just love the way you bake cakes! :)
Thanks a lot! Do stay tuned for more!
Shireen why do you cook baking soda along with figs?
Baking soda helps break down the figs and disperse them evenly in the batter. Another answer I found on the internet is a bit more scientific. This was for dates that are cooked with a bit of baking soda. I’m pasting it here for your reference. Credit goes to the person who gave this explanation “baking soda is mildly alkaline and dates have tannin and are astringent; the baking soda neutralizes the astringency and removes or lessens the tannin bitterness”
Can I use Coconut flour instead of just plain flour?
I have never tried it with coconut flour and I’m not sure of baking temperature and duration if you do use it
Amazing recipe 👍👍👌👌😍😍😍My both parents are diabetic. I made this cake for them today and they loved it 😍😍 I loved it too coz it satisfies my sugar craving without bad sugar. I just wanted to ask if I can make it with dates only .. Thanks a lot. God bless 🌹🌹🌹
That is such wonderful feedback! Thank you, I’m so glad that your parents enjoyed it!
Hi.. great tea cake recipe 👏👏🙂.. thank you so much. Could you please help me understand the necessity of adding Baking soda in the boiling mixture.
Thanks a lot! The baking soda helps soften the dry fruits thereby making it more like a paste while adding the dry fruits to the batter
Does baking soda add additional taste in this?
Two eggs ka substitute plz help me
I haven't made an eggless version of this cake but you can replace each egg with 1tbsp flaxseed powder dissolved in 3tbsp warm water - keep for 10 mins till it looks slightly frothy and then use
Are the figs not fresh? Dried? Can i use fresh figs
Yes, I have used dried figs and not fresh. Not sure of the result if you use fresh figs..the consistency of the batter may change
What's the replacement for honey. And you are pouring it when mixture is hot, do we pour honey this way, hope that's OK. I would still prefer alternative for honey in this recipe
Honey should not be boiled they say which is why I added it once the pan was removed off the heat. You can use maple syrup instead of honey.
Can I skip ginger powder
Yes you can
i made 3 last night but they are undercooked, cAN I JUST PUT THEM BACK IN THE OVEN FOR ANOTHER FEW MINUTES?
If you have removed and cooled the cake then you can’t recook it - you wont get the same results
@@ruchikrandhap I did it anyway and it's a little too dry but it is fully cooked and it's not too bad, thanks
Ok sounds great! Enjoy!
It's very amazing recipe but pls give substitute of egg
Thanks a lot!! You could use flaxseed powder dissolved in water..
Two eggs ka subsitud plz mn egg nhi
I haven't tried this recipe with egg substitutes though I guess ground flaxseed soaked in water could give you almost the same results
Can we use wheat flour instead of all purpose flour?
Yes you can. The batter may need a bit more moisture though and the final result may vary slightly
Substitute for egg
Not tried an eggless version but I guess you can try using 1/4 cup plain yogurt for every egg required in the recipe
Hi, does any one use fresh fig??
I haven't tried it with this recipe
I DID LAST NIGHT BUT IT DOESN'T TASTE TOO GOOD, IT IS SOMEWHAT TASTELESS AND A BIT BITTER...
Honey is no healthier than sugar.
Honey is sweeter than sugar so less maybe required to sweeten your food and at least it is not empty calories and definitely has some health benefits
@@ruchikrandhap
Yeah, that was the old story. Now everyone knows that honey is as bad. For the same nutrients one can eat any piece of fruit, a bit of honey is insignificant when it comes to providing nutrition.
I thought this recipe was with just figs as a sweetner. A little misleading.

don’t listen to that person, Honey is great for the body. When natural!
Itni achchi recipe egg ka substitute bhi btado beta
Thank you, aap flaxseed powder+water use kar sakthe ho. Nahi to bananas mash karke bhi daal sakthe ho
Looks delicious……can’t wait to try it. But, next video maybe lose the goofy music!
Thank you. Next time maybe you can mute the audio.
ARE YOU NUTS? THAT WAS THE BEST OF THE VIDEO, i WATCHED IT 3 TIMES JUST FOR THE MUSIC!!!!...WELL, I GUESS NOT EVERYONE HAS SOPHISTICATED EARS LIKE SOME OF US....
Hi.. I refer lot of your recipes. Regarding this cake, it cant be healthier as maida goes inside. Maida is one white poison
Hi Johnson, thanks! Yes, I mentioned it as healthier and not healthy as such but I get your point. I have deleted it now :) Do not want to mislead anyone with the term
@@ruchikrandhap Thanks Shireen. I am your fan. I follow your many recipes from your website. Pakka mangalorean. Ive learnt to make chicken curries, sukka, fish curries, valche baji, mandas, manni etc from you. Thanks again.
@@ruchikrandhap you can simply replace Maida with wheat flour. I have done that and you will hardly see any difference
Thanks a lot for the appreciation Johnson!! Glad to know that my recipes have helped you learn to make so many different dishes!
Well, I wouldn't replace maida 100% with whole wheat flour as the latter makes the cakes dense. I would replace a part of it, but ofcourse whatever works is good :)
honey in high heat is poison
Yes true, i did not know that earlier
First, let's assuage the most serious concern - no, heating honey will not turn it toxic and kill you. Heating up raw honey will change the makeup of the honey, and potentially weaken or destroy enzymes, vitamins, minerals, etc (more on this in a second) but it will not give you a horrible disease or poison you.
Is the walnut raw or roasted?
It is raw
