Hi there, just made Delia's Date & Pecan Nut loaf cake - it was a good reminder to check on all the ingredients before starting! Having started off with the syrup, treacle etc in a pan I continued without either of the main stars from the title of the bake, I substituted dates for prunes, and pistachios for pecans. Result was a very dense, solid cake, texture of malt loaf and tasting of bread pudding, according to my son! It's gone down a treat!
Thought you might like to know - thanks Delia for the inspiration!
Hello,
Delia has a few variations of ‘the’ fruit and nut loaf…..
Date, Apple and Walnut
Apricot, Apple and Pecan
Date, Prune and Walnut
Spiced Date and Walnut
Sultana
It is a dense, ‘fruit rich’ loaf and I like the sound of the new you one that you have developed.
Best wishes
Lindsey
