Date Loaf image

This recipe is from the Edmonds Cook Book. My kids love this, especially as an after school snack with a glass of milk. It has a lovely rich caramel flavour. I make mine without the walnuts and it's still great. Prep time includes 1 hour for soaking dates in boiling water.

This is the worst date loaf recipe I've ever tried. It's dry, crumbly, and flavorless.

THE ONE ABOVE ALL

This recipe is missing some important instructions. It doesn't say what size loaf pan to use or how long to bake the loaf.

This loaf is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.
