This has been a favorite of my husband's since I can long remember. His mother always manages to bake him one every year (she's 75) for Christmas...though she claims it's always his last.

British Date and Walnut Loaf Cake image

This is an easy recipe to follow and it's great for any occasion. It's a very moist loaf cake, ideally cut into slices and buttered. It keeps very well in an airtight container - it usually doesn't last longer than a day in my house before it's all gone! [Recipe originally submitted to Allrecipes.co.uk]

DATE-NUT APPLE CAKE



Date-Nut Apple Cake image

WE have enjoyed this recipe for many years. It was given to me by a college friend. It looks like a standard fruit cake, but the rich, moist texture of apples, dates, raisins and nuts makes it a very satisfying dessert. A slice of this cake, topped with whipped cream, whipped topping or a big scoop of ice cream will have your guests coming back for more.
