Tips:

Use fresh dates: Fresh dates are soft and have a caramel-like flavor. If you're using dried dates, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using to soften them.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A loaf pan will help to create a evenly-baked bread. If you don't have a loaf pan, you can also bake the bread in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
