Date Loaf (Eggless)



i come home just for 5-6 days...again i have to buy stuffs just for these few days and have to sort out all leftovers before leaving again....i usually store several kinds of dry fruits,juices etc for Pankaj whenever i go on my trips..This time he left all the dates as it is as i left them in box..so now i had a task to finish them of before leaving....What can we make with them in so less time ??? Can go for date Loaf..BUT i don't have eggs and butter !!! So what i can try my hands on eggless loaf !!
Taddaaa.... rightnow its in my pressure cooker baking to perfection :) (yea u heard right,baking in pressure cooker)

Freshly baked 

I personally don't like dates chunks in my loaf or cakes..but if you like feel free to add some in yours with nuts :) While mixing my ingredients i just noticed a half packet of chocolate stones and threw some in final batter ! 

You can spread some chocolate spread like me to make your slice even more sinful  !!
