We love date loaves. I've moved recently and lost quite a bit of my posessions during the move and quess what the carton with my recipes as well. I use to make a date loaf at least once a month & it was very similar to this one. I am baking it tonight thank you


This is a lovely Date and Nut Loaf recipe. I baked it and everyone gave it 2 thumbs up! Thanks so much for a great recipe.


This is a great recipe. I haven't had Date and Nut loaf in a very long, long time. Thanks so much Peepers.


This looks like another excellent recipe. I have bookmarked it and will be baking it for sure. I've given it 5 forks!


Lovely recipe but I don't know who would rate it so low. I also don't know how I missed this but none-the-less, you deserve "5" forks for sure.


Dates and nuts are the perfect marriage!!
