Dates and Walnut loaf is a family cake that you can bake it quickly and take it along with you during a travel or serve with coffee or tea during your evening snacks for your entire family. This is a very simple cake, but it’s loaded with nuts and dried fruits. In this recipe I have used dates and walnuts. You can replace the dates with any kind of reasons and the walnuts with any nuts of your choice. The dates are soaked with hot tea. However, while using raisins, you can use boiling water in the same ratio and soak it for ten minutes before using that in your cake. The lemon rind used gives a very refreshing, stress flavor to the cake. You can however can replace lemon with orange to have a variation to this cake. Try yours and do let me know how you liked it.
