    Aunty Yochana,
    Is this the chinese red dates?

    Hi Shine,

    When I was a little girl, my mum used to make beautiful butter cake without a machine. All she needs is me and my sister with a wooden spoon.

    I will use a wooden and stir the butter and sugar vigorously while my sister will use a hand whisk to whisk the eggs and sugar and my mum will then combine both together , alternating with the sieved flour.

    Give a try on this old method...have fun.

    Hi Lucy,
    This cake looks so yummy. I bought 2 boxes of the red dates during CNY (exactly the same as yours) but all eaten up already.
