Best Zia Delias Date Nut Cake Recipes
BRITISH DATE AND WALNUT LOAF CAKE
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]
