    Delicious. So easy. Did add butter with dates and hot water by mistake and only added 50 grams sugar. But super easy. Will make again that's for sure! Thanks for the recipe.

    Submitted by Jashyboo on 30. September 2019 - 22:03.

    Very nice loaf!! I loved how it was using simple pantry items. I also subbed the butter with 40g coconut oil and it turned out great. I only added 80g sugar since dates are already sweet and it tasted fine (coming from a sugar-holic). I also added 1/2 tsp ground ginger and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon but could barely taste it so many 1 tsp each next time? Thanks for the tip as well! That’s a great one Big Smile

    Best recipe! I love chunks of dates so set the date/water/bicarb mix aside after step 1 and add back in at step 4 but only mix on speed 4. Also use 220g dates and reduce sugar to 50g.

    I have to say, this is my favourite baking outcome so far with my thermomix. I subbed in jaggery (the indian block sugar) and it still tasted great. Next time I'm going to try GF flour as well.

Absolutely fantastic recipe, quick easy and tastes so moist, I have made it three times as per the receipe then last night I decided to make it into a sticky date by using 1/3 cup cream, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 3tbs butter melted together until the sugar melted and when the cake was cooked I used a knife to pierce the cake in several places and poured over the warm sauce and let it sit for 10 mins before cuttnig and serving with cream. Sensational my family loved it and it is soooooooooo easy !!!




    That sounds like a brilliant idea - I'm going to try it...

    I made this at 11pm so was wanting a quick result, I cooked it in a square cake tin and it was cooked in 12 minutes! Happy days! Also I find squares of cut cake easier to pack  in the lunch box than a slice.  I used coconut sugar instead of the raw.
