Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 lb dates, chopped; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 cup boiling water; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter; 1 cup sugar; 1 egg, lightly beaten; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 dash cinnamon; 1 dash nutmeg; 1 dash salt; 1 1/2 cups flour; 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts

Servings: persons

1 lb dates, chopped
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash cinnamon
1 dash nutmeg
1 dash salt
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts

1
Place the dates in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the baking soda, then pour the boiling water over. Set aside.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large loaf pan. The original recipe calls for a 2 pound coffee can, but I never have one of those.
3
In a mixing bowl, cream butter. Stir in sugar, egg, vanilla, spices, and salt.
4
Add half the flour, then stir in the dates.
5
Add remaining flour and nuts.
6
Place batter in prepared pan.
7
Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, usually around 50 minutes to an hour. The original recipe calls for a 90 minute bake time, but I don't think it needs that much time.
8
Cool ten minutes before removing from pan.
9
Slices better the next day.
