Instructions
- Place the dates in a medium sized bowl. Combine the boiling water and baking soda in a large measuring cup then pour over the dates. Let soak for 15 minutes, then stir to combine.
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Grease a standard 9x5 loaf pan and set aside.
- In another bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg and salt, then set aside.
- In another large bowl, mix the butter and sugar together until crumbly. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Add the flour mixture and mix alternately with the date mixture. Stir in the nuts.
- Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack to cool completely.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. This is even better the second day after you make it!
Notes
- YES it's only 2 tablespoons of butter, thanks to the dates you barely need any oil or butter in this recipe!
