Chocolate-date cake

Description

I love tea with a bit of sugar dates instead of candy. Says my friend: "You don't laugh, but try". A few weeks ago I bought dates which I did not like the taste. I washed them, folded in half-liter jar filled with brandy, then to anything to do with them. Found some recipes with dates, combined and got a good result.

21. Take out the pie from the oven and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
