Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1 cup dates, finely chopped
- 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- ¾ cup plain flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 grams butter, melted
Instructions
- Grease a slice tin (approx 28 x 18cm) and line with baking paper, leaving paper overhanging at sides to assist with removal of slice later.
- Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius, fan-forced).
- Beat the eggs on med-high for 5 minutes or until pale coloured and fluffy.
- Add the sugar slowly while beating on low speed. Once added, beat on med-high speed again for one minute.
- Mix in the dates and walnuts.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and fold into the mixture.
- Add the butter and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- Pour mixture into slice tin and use a spatula to spread out evenly in tin.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a golden-brown colour and firm to touch.
- Allow to cool to a warm temperature in the tin, then remove using the overhanging baking paper. Cut into squares and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
