    Good Morning Ahmed and thank you for the memory nudge. My Mother often made a Date and Nut loaf that was out of this world!!! I was so very fortunate in that my parents were worldly people. We enjoyed international cuisines and in doing so, we were taught the many different cultures.
    I prefer Demerara sugar in coffee and tea but I have never used it in my baking. I am looking forward to preparing your Date and Nut Tea Loaf.
    To answer tcvillegas question about Demerara Sugar.
    From Wikipedia;
    Demerara is used as the generic name of a type of specialty raw cane sugar often used in home baking and in sweetening coffee. Demerara, sometimes spelled demerera, is normally brown in colour—the natural colour of cane sugar. It takes its name from the Demerara colony in Guyana, which was the original source of this type of sugar, but is produced today mainly in Mauritius.
