This festive and hearty cake is not only delicious, but very fragrant. Its few ingredients and steps make for easy preparation, and it may be served plain or with Vanilla or Lemon Frosting<\/a>. It uses no oil, and still bakes up moist without being greasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have received some questions about millet, as it's a lesser-used whole grain. Millet is a non-glutinous grain that works really well in sweet breads and cake, I've found (see photo of millet at end of this post). Using all oat flour (which I commonly use) results in baked desserts being too dense and heavy. The millet lifts things a bit and results in a nice, moist cake that is thoroughly cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don't have millet on hand, I encourage you to purchase some (usually at healthier groceries, I buy mine in the bulk section; or online). If you'd like to use another type of flour in place of the millet, give it try and let me know how it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for pre-ground millet flour purchased at the store vs. whole-grain millet that you grind yourself (in a high-speed blender, like a Vitamix), I always grind my own, since that way I don't have more flour than I need sitting around. But if you do use pre-ground, the measurement is the same. I don't like to make people hunt around for unusual ingredients, but since millet works so well, I think it's worth using in this recipe (I also use it in my Zucchini Bread<\/a>). Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/symbol>\n<\/defs>\n<\/svg>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>

the dates can soften). Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F. Line a standard size loaf pan (9 x 5 x 3 inches) with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Grind the rolled oats and millet into flour with a blender (30 to 40 seconds; millet is hard). Place the oat and millet flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl, and whisk.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Pour the soaking ingredients (dates, milk, and almond extract) into the blender, and blend until smooth. Add this mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients along with the applesauce and lemon zest, and stir until all of the dry ingredients have been incorporated.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Spoon the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the top is medium brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and placing on a cooling rack. Cool completely before serving plain or with Lemon Frosting and sliced strawberries (or any fruit of your choice).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\" style=\"background-color: #E1E1E1 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\t\t<h3 style=\"color: #222 !important; text-transform: uppercase !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" style=\"color: #222 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Nuts: <\/strong>For added richness and texture, add a \u00bd cup chopped almonds (or walnuts) to the batter along with the lemon zest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lemons: <\/strong>A regular lemon will work just fine for the cake and frosting, but a fragrant Meyer lemon is extra good.
