#58 Date Nut Bread
Taken from Allrecipes.com
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dates, pitted and chopped
- 2 1/4 cups boiling water
- 3 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 cups white sugar
- 3 tablespoons margarine
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Combine baking soda with the boiling water. Soak the dates in the water and baking soda solution for 30 minutes.
- Cream sugar and butter together. Add eggs, vanilla, dates, nuts, flour, and salt.
- Divide batter equally between two 9 x 5 (or 8 1/2 x 4 1/2) inch greased loaf pans. Bake 1 hour at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) (or until loaf tests done). Can be frozen when cool.
Taste: 5/5 I brought this to the office and everyone liked it.
Brit-rating: Wouldn't try it because of the nuts and that it was like a muffin consistency. "I'm not keen on muffins."
Serve to guests: Yes
Make again? I wouldn't wait until the holidays to make this. It would be great for brunch or a snack cake.
