Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place dates into a bowl and cover them with very hot water. Let the dates soak while you prepare the cake batter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together cake flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, brown sugar, honey, eggs, and vanilla.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir till a thick batter forms.
  5. Drain water from the dates. Pit the dates, then chop the fruit into small chunks.
  6. Fold the walnuts and date chunks into the batter.
  7. Generously grease your loaf pan with cooking spray. Pour batter into loaf pan.
  8. Place loaf pan in preheated oven. Bake cake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and set on a wire rack to cool.

Notes

  • You will also need: 8- or 9-inch loaf pan, 2 mixing bowls
