Recipe tips:
1. Be sure to use seedless golden jujubes, which taste sweet. I have used Hetian jade jujubes before, but they were a bit sour and not tasty;
2. The red dates must be fully broken into jujube paste, so that the taste will be more delicate;
3. Yes Even if the jujube is seedless, it may not be completely removed. Eating the jujube stone after breaking it will irritate your teeth. Therefore, it is best to pinch the red dates with your hands, and remove the hard parts separately;
4. Brown sugar is easy to agglomerate, so it must be fully crushed before use. Recipe 2 for red date cake

Tips
1. Red dates can also be replaced with jujube paste. I like to use red date granules because I don’t have jujube paste, haha.
2. You can also use all brown sugar, which is 150 grams. I replaced 30 grams of it with white sugar, so the color will become lighter during the whipping process, but the finished product is medium in color and very beautiful. I This picture has not been edited at all, but it looks very comfortable.
3. Whole eggs are difficult to beat. Use a whisk with a bucket to keep an eye on the whole process until the texture is very obvious. When the whisk is lifted, the batter will not disappear immediately when it drips into the bucket. This means Dismissed.
4. It is best to sift in the flour in batches, and stir evenly before adding each time.
5. When mixing the batter, remember not to make circles and mix from bottom to top. You can also use a whisk to quickly beat it evenly. This time should not be too long, just a few seconds.
6. When mixing the batter, you can preheat the oven. After mixing evenly, the oven is also preheated and you can put it in and bake it directly.
7. If you use a mold to bake, remember not to pour the cake batter too full, only 6 or 7 layers are enough.
