ABOUT:

This cake is like a spice bread (middle Eastern style) but on a sweeter side. Traditionally from Scotland, date and walnut loaf is still enjoyed in many tea rooms around the country. Date bread was first recorded as a recipe in 1939, and now today is used to make holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving a little more festive. It is often made with treacle or tea to give it a dark brown colour.
