Comments
I used only 160 g of sugar and half of the cardamom but added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and nutmeg.
i also used a supermarket gluten free flour. Yum, a family favourite.
Nice date loaf recipe. I like the chunkiness of the dates & walnuts, although, of course, you can wiz it up more if you like a smooth loaf.
I'm not a huge fan of that much Cardamom, so next time I'll use the same amount of Mixed Spice. You could also use a combination of Cinnamon & Nutmeg.
And in answer to a previous question, Date Loaves don't contain eggs. I think the combination of the hot water & baking soda gives the lightness that eggs usually would in a cake.
Is this recipe supposed to have eggs in it or is it an egg free cake?
Tried this yesterday sooo good thanks
