Date & walnut loaf cake: Easy, moist cake with plump dates and crunchy walnuts. Perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 4 ounces pitted chopped dates
  • 2 ounces margarine
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 8 ounces self-rising flour
  • 6 ounces brown sugar
  • 2 ounces chopped walnuts
  • 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions:
  • Combine dates and margarine in a bowl with boiling water and baking soda. Stir with a wooden spoon until the margarine melts and the dates plump up. Allow to cool to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before proceeding.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and line a 2-pound loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, and walnuts. Combine with the date mixture, stirring well with a wooden spoon. Mix in the egg, then transfer the mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
