I had plenty of dates lying around in my kitchen. My son suggested to bake a bread/cake to clear my pantry. Yes, it is indeed a great idea.
After going through my old collection of recipes, this one attracted me since it is pretty simple to whip up and use all the ingredients I have in hand.
Oh my goodness, this bread is damn yummy with right balance of sweetness came from the dates. This is a keeper, will bake this often.
