When we were in England few years ago, I remembered I had this date and walnut loaf cake during breakfast in one of the event that we attended. The taste was so good and I keep thinking to make this cake one day. Recently, I made this cake and served during our breakfast with friends at home and everyone said the cake was good.
I suppose this date and walnut loaf cake is a traditional British recipe and I found it from allrecipe UK/Ireland. It was a great recipe though and the taste even better after a couple of days.
