Date Loaf
I've had this recipe for so long that I really don't know
where it came from. It is so reliable.
My
husband is a staunch member of the Forrest Park Miniature
Railway here in Bunbury. The railway is run by
volunteers and is an ideal family outing especially if you
have young children.
At one stage, to raise money for
the club, I used to make cakes and slices which they would
sell on train run days. I would always
make several Date Loaves each month and they would always be
quick sellers.
This loaf has minimal fat in it and no eggs, so it is
best eaten on the day you make it.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of chopped dates
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 and 1/2 cups self raising flour
Method:
Pre heat oven to 160
degrees Celsius.
Place dates, butter, boiling water, sugar and bi-carb in
a bowl and stir until dissolved. Ad the flour and mix well.
Bake in a greased loaf tin for 40 minutes at 160 degrees
Celsius (325 degrees Fahrenheit).
Notes:
This is another loaf that is so yummy spread with butter.
But, be sensible!
It is also great with a few chopped walnuts added to the
mixture.
