2.Mix all the dry ingredients.

3.Beat egg until fluffy and add butter,mix thoroughly.

4.Slowly add egg and dates paste to the flour and mix thoroughly.

5.Add chopped apples and just mix it,don't over do as apples gets mashed in the batter.

6.Spoon the mixture into the tin (baking tin should be buttered and dusted with flour).

This cake retains moisture for about 3-4 days.It can be made eggless as well.I made both with egg and without egg and there is not much difference in the taste.

The combination of dates and the apple pieces are awesome.
