BM #93 Week 2 Day 3 -
What is a birthday party without a cake, right? So I am sending this cake virtually to Srivalli's Kid's Delight Anniversary party. With this cake, I would have sent some savory scones and some bajjis too.
Hope the kid's delight virtual party is a grand success.
I made this cake for a friend's birthday party celebration at home and it was well liked by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients -
Wheat Flour 1 cup
All purpose flour 1 cup
Baking powder 2 tsp
Baking soda 1/2 tsp
Salt 1/4 tsp

Dates about 15-16

Sieve together the flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda into a mixing bowl.
In a blender blend together dates, sugar, oil, vanilla extract and yogurt into a smooth mixture.
Pour the dates mixture into a mixing bowl. Slowly add the flour and whisk well until there are no lumps. [Depending on the type of flour used, the batter may require more yogurt. Adjust as per need.]
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Grease and line a 6 inch cake tin and a mini 24-muffin tray [or a 13 inch rectangular cake pan].
Pour the batter into the cake tin and the muffin tray.
Bake the cake tin for 35-40 minutes and the muffins would be ready in about 15-18 minutes. Check with a toothpick for doneness.
[Baking times vary from oven to oven and also the type of cake tin. So keep that in mind while baking. the baking times given are what worked for me].
Upon cooling, pour the chocolate sauce on the cake and sprinkle the MnMs. Refrigerate until ready to slice the cake.
Preparation Time 15 minutes + 40 minutes baking time
