Asalamu aliakum sis
you can buy date syrup in the stores specially in Halal stores and online if you google it.
if you can find it you could boil dates with water then use the blender, that should work too, Insha Allah.

Asalamu Alaikum,
It is good to hear that you enjoyed date cake.
Many thanks for your feed back.
sis what type of flour do you use plain or self raising?
I used plain flour in this recipe.
Looks great! But what can I do about date syrup if it’s not provided at any of my local stores. Is there a way to make it own your own?
Look for date molasses, usually you will find it in Middle Eastern stores. If not then make your own date paste and use that instead.
Let me know how you get on.
Okay, will do. Thanks.
you are welcome
did you know that vanilla extract has alchohol
You can find some vanilla extract without the alcohol, if you live in England, Tesco sells vanilla paste and it is quite good and there is no alcohol in it.
Omg this taste so good!! I actually made this for breakfast!!! It is so good !!! thanks wallal
I should try it for breakfast. so delicious, thanks for sharing
