Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pitted dates (chopped)
  • 1 cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Grease the slow cooker insert with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, then add the chopped dates.
  3. Add dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Fold in walnuts: Gently fold the chopped walnuts into the batter.
  5. Pour and cook: Transfer the batter into the prepared slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for about 3-4 hours or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Once cooked, allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

For variations, try swapping walnuts for pecans or adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
