Whip up a simple and delicious Date and Carrot loaf with just a few steps!

Ingredients:

100g butter, chopped
180.00 gm brown sugar
250.00 ml chopped pitted dates
2.50 gm mixed spice
2.50 gm bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs, lightly beaten
225.00 gm self-raising flour, sifted
150g packet mixed nuts
125.00 ml grated carrot
Icing sugar mixture, for dusting

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Grease a 6cm-deep, 10cm x 20cm loaf pan and line it with baking paper, letting it overhang by 2cm on the long sides.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, dates, spice, and 1 cup of cold water. Stir and cook for 4 minutes until the butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Stir in bicarbonate of soda and let it cool for 20 minutes before using.
Combine the eggs with the flour, nuts, and carrot until well mixed. Pour the batter into a prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar, then serve.
