My recipe for date and walnut cake is from the 1980s. soak the dates in anything nice to get them soggy. Wine is good. But warm milk/water equally so plus vanilla essence etc.. The point being the dates will drink any moisture in the cake mix up leaving you with moist dates and powder - unless you slake their thirst first.
