I'm making this for my Mom's birthday in May. God willing, she'll be 89. It's a very special cake and I know she'll love it. Thank you for sharing your travels and enthusiasm! Great video!
Although we live in Canada, my girlfriends grandparents have a place in Yuma. I never knew about the dates so I’ll have to check that out when I’m there next
I made this without the spices and used regular cooking dates. It’s a deliciously moist chocolate cake! Thank you for the tip for making cream cheese frosting that’s not loaded with sugar!
Well, I saved this recipe because I’ve just recently returned to eating dates as a result of trying to remove added sugar to my diet. Whenever I can find recipes that I can eat and still enjoy, it’s a win win. I just made this recipe but made the cake into cupcakes. For a topping I used a little whipped cream on the top of the cupcake. To say it was delicious is quite the understatement. I might make up a small bowl of the cream cheese icing for my husband’s share of the cupcakes. Hopefully, they won’t be too big of a temptation. I highly recommend your trying this recipe in whatever form you choose; it’s definitely a keeper. 👏🏻👏🏻👍👏🏻👏🏻
Well, but let me tell you that south of the border from Yuma, in San Luis Rio Colorado Mexico, they grow dates also and they have these prepared dates filled with walnuts and condensed milk that are so delicious that your can't have just one. Also in the Palm Springs region they grow dates and have this Date Shakes, so good also!
Hello, love the show and your detailed recipes! The amount of boiling water was 1 1/3 cups in the written recipe, Anna said 1 2/3 cups in the video. Which is the right amount of water? Thanks
My Son orders these dates online ,he gets a big box delivered maybe every couple of months , he eats Medjool dates every morning for the health benefits and vitamins .Can you suggest an egg substitute that would work for this cake ? I’m still eating eggs butter cheese but Mr healthy is strict vegan 😂 To me it’s hard to relearn baking , meaning it’s hard to find baking replacements that still taste good . So are eggs necessary for this cake ?
I grew up in Libya (Father was in UK forces) I used to watch the arabs gathering the dates. They would tie a rope between their ankles and then chin up the tree catching the rope on the tree trunk going up and down.
I can tell already that this is going to be a delicious cake. The cayenne is so perfect with the dates and chocolate. Thanks Anna. ❤️🇨🇦
I am looking forward to see how this date cake turns out. Thank you Anna for sharing.

This looks delicious! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Thank you Anna. I have watched you for a while over many different formats and learnt so much about baking. I like the joy you bring to baking. ❤
What a fantastic cake I have to make it. I believe this will be my Thanksgiving dessert, my family is going to flip, thankyou Anna!
Oh Anna what a surprise that delicious harvest! In Mexico, city of Mexicali we have date harvest as well AND season is from September to February.
You are superb Amazing Chef Anna 😊 Cake looks super smooth and tasty
Oh my, Anna was able to hold the glass with boiling water in it. She can really tolerate heat. She is truly a baker. 😃
She only held it for several seconds, this way the glass won't burn you :)
@@acryliq It won't burn for a few seconds of holding but that is still hot to the touch at boiling temperature.
Wow I will make this definitely ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! I'll be making this for sure!!!!
Saludos desde Costa Rica

Thanks for a date recipe, I'm in love with date . But I'm not a fan of cream cheese , Can I replace the cream cheese frosting with anything? 😆
Hi Chef Anna, is it okay to substitute Medjool with other date varieties? because Medjool is quite expensive in my country
Can I use date syrup with this recipe?
My Son orders these dates online ,he gets a big box delivered maybe every couple of months , he eats Medjool dates every morning for the health benefits and vitamins .Can you suggest an egg substitute that would work for this cake ? I’m still eating eggs butter cheese but Mr healthy is strict vegan 😂 To me it’s hard to relearn baking , meaning it’s hard to find baking replacements that still taste good .

You could try with sweet potato, I made vegan brownies and they were delicious, although I suppose that in cakes the texture will change
Usually flax seed mixed with some water is a good vegan egg replacement. 1 egg = 1 tbsp ground flax seed mixed with 3 tbsp water
👍😋😋😋
Appreciate your video
And try to add almond on the top 👍

I thought you in Saudi Arabia when o saw the palm trees 😂
Another drug plant fruit to speed up aging 😂
