Delicious date loaf? Yes, Day 36 was another baking day. A fairly simple recipe for a cake that gets more delicious the older it gets.
Baking a date loaf
This one wasn’t hard to make. All you need is flour, eggs, tea, sugar, dates, butter and malt extract. The last one threw me a bit. Malt extract is not something I keep in the cupboard, nor could I find it in the local supermarket. A quick search revealed that you can use honey instead. It probably tastes slightly different than the original, but it still works.
Slowly heat the butter, tea and honey together, before adding the sugar and stirring in the eggs. Add to the flour, and mix in the dates. That’s all there is to it, besides baking it for an hour of course.
Eating the date loaf
As usual, it got slightly stuck in the loaf tin. I should really get some of those fancy silicone loaf tins. Never mind the slight damage though, it’s delicious, albeit a bit dry. Best served with a bit of butter. I will be having this one again.
