Crinkle Cake with Dates
|
Crinkle cake is one of those recipes that looks and tastes as it sounds: crunchy and crinkly! I made a crinkle cake with dates, a dessert known for its crispy and custardy texture and caramel-like sweetness. The cake features layers of crinkled phyllo dough and Medjool dates, topped with a sweet milk-based custard flavored with cardamom. After baking, a sugar syrup is poured over the cake, which can be adjusted to your desired level of sweetness. This cake isn't necessarily an authentic Middle Eastern recipe, but the flavors are certainly comforting! Keep on cooking, |
