There is just one word to best describe to this cake; Yummy! Carrot cake is an all time favorite, especially when walnuts are included. Toss dates into the picture and, well, it's over the top in a good way (as in carrots, walnuts, and dates are all exceptionally good for you). Brown sugar is the sweetener of choice for carrot cakes, and what is used here, in combination with ground cinnamon and nutmeg as the warming spices.
