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.
