What degree should it be baked on? Also, dough seems very dry. What could be done to remedy that dryness?
This date cake is baked at 325 degrees F and as far as dough is concerned it is ok! because it is bit harder than other cakes. You may add orange or mango juice after baking or add 1/2 cup of milk in the dough, then the cake will be softer.
