I saw this on one of those FB pages and all thoughts of losing at least 8 lbs in March, left my head! I've been so focused losing every week, right in the 'mode' and just a picture was enough to throw me off course. For goodness sake, I screamed at myself you can't even smell it!
What is it that makes us crave some foods? I don't eat chocolate or drink wine or any alcohol, but some cake weakens my resolve. I won't make it, but I did think as an Easter cake? We don't make a Simnel cake any more, for the reason we're always dieting!
But Dates in a cake appeals to me, we do have Date and Fig yogurts and they are delicious!

Thank you for putting me right about the siskin picture

It does look delicious. However, I'd probably change the walnuts for pecans.
That does look tasty. :-)
Cake does that to me too. Thankfully, I don't like nuts so I'm safe from this one. :)
Dates and walnuts are very healthy so I'm not sure why you can't make this and nibble at it. It's too rich to scoff down all at once. I've never seen date and fig yoghurt but I'd get it if it was available. Most yoghurts are sickly sweet, fruit non existent.
That cake would be my downfall if someone had it right in front of me! The birds look more like our Canadian Pine Siskin and our Goldfinch. I have a few mini daffodils open today! Thought it would be later and I am so glad to see them.
Dates remind me of my grandmother. She baked the most delicious date filled cookies.
It does look good!! White cake with chocolate icing is what I find hard to resist. :
That does look tasty!
All the best Jan
Yep, cake is my downfall too, I could give up chocolate fairly easily but I could eat cake at anytime of the day :-)
I would have no problem passing up that cake, since i am not fond of dates. But a chocolate cake? That would be the difficult one for me!
