Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

125g unsalted butter, cubed and softened, plus extra for the tin
200g soft dates, pitted and roughly chopped
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
150g light muscovado sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
225g self-raising flour
100g walnuts, roughly chopped
1 tbsp icing sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 2lb loaf tin (ours was 22 x 10cm and 6cm deep) and line with baking parchment. Put the butter, dates and bicarbonate of soda (which helps break down the dates) in a large bowl and add 150ml boiling water. Give it a stir so the butter melts, and leave to stand for around 20 mins until the dates have softened.
  • Whisk in the sugar until smooth, then gradually whisk in the eggs until combined. Beat in the baking powder, flour and a pinch of sea salt until there are no lumps of flour left and it's smooth. Fold in three-quarters of the walnuts, then pour into the prepared tin. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts over the top.
  • Bake for 20 mins, then turn the oven down to 170C/150C fan/gas 3 and cook for another 45-50 mins until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 15 mins, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Lightly dust with the icing sugar and serve in slices. Freeze whole or cut into slices, then place in an airtight container or divide between reusable freezer bags. Can be frozen for up to three months. Defrost thoroughly overnight.

Tips:

  • Use ripe dates: The riper the dates, the sweeter and more flavorful your loaf will be. If you don't have ripe dates, you can soak them in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the loaf is cooked through.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing: This will help the loaf to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

This date and walnut loaf is a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. It's easy to make, and it's packed with nutrients like fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. Give it a try next time you're looking for a sweet treat that's good for you.
