this is the second date loaf I have made in a week, the first went as quick as a whiz so thought I had better make another, Gerry (husband)likes to have a slice of what my mum always called cut and come again cake, which really was any cake that was not overly rich or creamy, like a loaf cake, maybe currants, dates, cherries or what ever.. qahtan


1 cup butter
1 cup soft brown sugar
2 cups A P flour
4 eggs
level teaspoon BP
2/3 tablespoons very very strong black coffee
and as many chopped dates as you want to put in.. I like lots
Bake slow at 285......
