Abstract The current study investigates the effect of replacing sugar with different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%) of date powder (DP) on the physicochemical and sensory quality attributes of sponge cake. The results showed that DP is rich source of carbohydrate (78.20 ± 0.53%), moisture (7.80 ± 0.20%), fiber (7.73 ± 0.20%) followed by protein (2.73 ± 0.12%), ash (2.54 ± 0.00%), fat (0.50 ± 0.01%), potassium (24.96 ± 1.58 μg/g), phosphorus (3.12 ± 0.15 μg/g), calcium (2.61 ± 0.00 μg/g), iron (0.9 ± 0.00 μg/g), and vitamin A (1.27 ± 0.05 μg/g). Incorporation of different concentrations of DP concurrently (P ≤ 0.05) increased the weight, protein, fat, ash, fiber, moisture, minerals, and vitamin A and reduced the sponge cake's volume, specific weight, and carbohydrates contents. There are no significant differences between control and DP-containing cake in some sensory attributes. Overall, incorporating DP in sponge cake improved the nutritional and health quality attributes of the products without a major effect on its sensory attributes.
