Date & walnut loaf ….adulterated from taste.com.au
You need for one lovely healthy delicious loaf:
240g (1 1/2 cups) pitted dried dates, halved
310mls (1 1/4 cups) water
100g (1/2 cup, firmly packed) dark brown sugar
80g butter, cubed
Melted butter, for greasing
300g (2 cups) self-raising flour
1 1/2 tsp mixed spice optional if you have it
2 eggs, lightly whisked
100g walnut chopped pieces
- Wrap yourself into your Prada faux fur jumpsuit,
- Climb into your Burberry ugg boots.
- Pre heat oven and yourself to 170.
- Pour a warming red wine. Drink.
- Chop up the dates and nuts: you want them the size of a Miu Miu buckle.
- Dice up the butter so that it melts easily. Like your thighs. You wish.
- Moisterise a loaf tin with lashings of unsalted butter.
- Throw dates, water, brown sugar and butter in a medium saucepan and pop on a lid. That’s on the saucepan not you.
- Bring it to a medium heat until the sugar dissolves and give it a stir.
- Then let it come to a boil and then turn it down to a simmer, uncovered, for about 2 minutes til it’s a little mushy. Like a face mask.
- Then pour it into a bowl and then let it cool down for about 20 minutes. HINT: You are going to mix the eggs in it and if it’s too hot the eggs will scramble. This is not a good look.
- Now sift the flour and mixed spice into a chic mixing bowl.
- Whisk the eggs a little and when the wet date mix is cool enough you can pour in the eggs and give it a good stir to combine.
- Then pour that wet date mixture into the dry flour mixture and give it a good stir.
- Toss in the walnuts and stir again so it’s all mixed in and completely combined like a Prada outfit.
- Pour the mixture into the moisturized loaf pan.
- Throw in the oven and bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes.
- It will be cooked when it’s a lovely crunchy Chanel brown on the top (and skewer comes out clean.)
- Turn onto a wire rack to cool a little.
- Serve hot with lashings of cream cheese or icecream.
- Yum!
