Ingredients
  • 1 cup dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1 cup figs, dried and chopped
  • *If figs are not available to you, I have used 1 cup of apple chopped / diced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Lightly grease an 8 x 4 inch loaf dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the dates, figs, butter and baking soda.
  4. Pour in the boiling water, stir well and let stand for 15 minutes.
  5. Beat the sugar, walnuts and eggs into the date mixture.
  6. Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
  7. Stir into date mixture until just blended.
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  9. Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
