Drunken Red Date Cup Cakes

Drunken Red Date Cup Cakes

After I made my red date wine this year, I looked at the wine infused dates and wondered whether to throw it away or keep it.  I tasted one and it was so good.  Hence, I requested my maid to chop them up, remove the seed and store it for one of my brilliant experiments. To cut a long story short, the cakes were so tasty that I got requests for the recipe.  So, these cakes are going to become a feature in my house until they get over- all 3kgs of them. 😊

The Recipe For Drunken Red Date Cup Cakes

The Ingredients For Drunken Red Date Cup Cakes

125 gms butter

3/4 cup jaggery powder For those who do not know, jaggery is a traditional, unrefined sweetener made from the juice of sugarcane or palm trees

1 ½ cups wheat flour

1 ½ tsp baking powder

2 large eggs

1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

1 cup wine infused dates

Method:

Sieve the wheat flour and baking soda together 3 times.  Whisk butter and jaggery till pale and fluffy.  Add the eggs one by one, mixing well.  Next add the vanilla. Add the flour, ½ cup at a time until everything is used up.  Lastly add the wine infused dates and give it a good mix until well combined.  Pour into cup-cake cases and bake in a pre-heated oven for 35 minutes or until skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.  The baking time depends on the size of the cup cake case.  I used 3 inch sized cases which required 35 minutes.  These are perfect for breakfast with a dollop of butter or as a snack to fill in those empty spaces.
