You could add chocolate as a mix in along with walnuts. The cake tastes better the next day.It can take upto 3 hours for the dates mixture to cool completely. Make the dates mixture a day in advance and keep in fridge, if you don't want to wait that long. Just bring dates mixture to room temperature before using.
