Directions

  1. Chop or slice dates (should measure about 1.5 cups.) Place dates in medium bowl; add baking soda and boiling water, stirring. Cool to room temperature about 20 minutes, or place in fridge to speed up cooling.
  2. Position rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Grease or spray a 9"x5" loaf pan well.
  3. Mix together flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside.
  4. Beat eggs in large mixing bowl; stir in oil, brown sugar, and vanilla, blending well.
  5. Stir the cooled date mixture into the egg mixture; add nuts and blend.
  6. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture just until blended.
  7. Scrape batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 55-60 minutes or until toothpick tests clean in center. (This dark batter will tend to overbake in dark pans; shorten baking time as needed by testing toward end time.)
  8. Remove from oven; cool bread in pan 10 minutes and then turn out of pan and cool on wire rack.
  9. Yield: 2.25 pounds nutbread (18 large slices 1/2" wide (or cut in half for 36 snack size servings.)
