This is a much loved loaf in our house, just right for the season...moist & delicious & low on fat!! A dear friend of mine used to make it with plump dates she got from the UK...with outstanding results. I would suggest you get the best quality dates... More

Ingredients
  • Flour - 1 cup
  • Baking soda - 1 tsp
  • Baking powder - 2 tsp
  • Sugar - 1 4/ cup
  • Margarine - 25gms (I used butter)
  • Dates - 350gms (chopped)
  • Water - 142ml/ 1/4 pint (boiling)
  • Egg - 1
  • Walnuts - 1/2 cup/100gms (chopped)

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C. Grease and line bottom of a 9 X 5 loaf pan, or 8 " round cake tin.
  2. Sift the dry ingredients together.
  3. Put the chopped dates + margarine (or butter) + sugar in a deep bowl & pour the boiling water over it. Allow to cool.
  4. Stir in the flour mix + eggs + walnuts.
  5. Put batter into tin, level out and bake for about 60 minutes.
  6. Cool on a rack. Slice only when cold. (I wrap it in cling wrap overnight for the flavours to mature, and then sliced it the next morning)
