Made this and it was amazing. Took me back to childhood cake after school. Great recipe and that home made taste is so much better than bought.

@@Stewart-ll3lu Hi Christopher, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the recipe. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas (as good as it can be in these difficult times), thanks for being with me in 2020. Stay safe.

I'm really enjoying watching you make my favourite recipes that I can't make on a regular basis because of the high risk of diabetes. It makes me happy to see the process because baking was one of my favourite things to do for my family. Now they have their own families to bake for, or they are like me trying to watch their health. I love to see you using the old-fashioned methods for making things instead of all the labour-saving gadgets. I think some of those machines make more work than they save, but that is just my opinion. Thank you for your presentation of this delicious recipe. 😀

Looks fine. Nice with a cuppa tea/coffee in morning or afternoon. Thanks for sharing this.

You’re brilliant, thank you so much for making the videos. Love your style and the fact that you are using your experience from when you were running your bakery. I already tried your shortbread recipe and it was absolutely perfect first time.

Thank you Mr. Paul. I love date and walnut loaf but I think I’ve only ever made it a couple of times. My mum used to make this quite often and I used her recipe but I lost the recipe and never found another recipe that was the same. Now I can make it again with your recipe, woo hoo. Looks like I’ll be doing a fair bit of baking over the next couple of weeks. I love your cooking, it’s all like my mum and my dad used to make, and I love all the good old English recipes.

I just made this, it's excellent! I make it to a different recipe and yours knocks it into a cocked hat! I never used bicarb in with my soaking dates, I guess it helps with the date skins and helps the rise a little bit. All in all a superb recipe, thanks very much. I hope you are recovering well after your hospital stay, you are in my thoughts regularly. Frank.

Hi, found your site the other day. As soon as I get my conversion chart from grams to cups I'm going to make this. I lost my Grandmother's recipe a long time ago but she would make this and in the afternoon we would have a piece of the bread with cream cheese and a cup of tea.

Hello Susan, do yourself a favour and buy a metric digital scale. The cup measuring system is the most inaccurate one there is. If you measure out 3 cups of lour then weigh them ALL 3 will be different, also I'll guarantee your local baker will NOT be using cups, he will be weighing everything. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment, I appreciate that. May I wish you a very Merry Christmas from Spain wherever you are. Visit my Website mr-pauls-pantry.com/ For more recipes.

I have always thought of this cake as an old person's cake but I made it a few weeks ago and it didn't last long as it was delicious.I have made 4 more since for members of the family. They now expect it made on tap. What have I started?

Hi Gemini l, I suppose it is an old persons cake really as I've made it in my various bakeries in the UK and here in Spain for the past 60+ years- I'm very please you enjoyed it and many thanks for your feedback which is much appreciated. Have a Happy Easter

That looks like a lovely little loaf! Could some of the flour be substituted with whole meal flour? How about adding some cinnamon and vanilla?

@MrPaulsPantry

2 жыл бұрын

Please don't ruin this delightful recipe by adding cinnamon or vanilla. As a professional baker for 60+ years we NEVER used vanilla, it kills any other flavours and is usually used commercially to hide some other unwelcome flavours. Adding wholemeal flour will affect the texture of the cake by affecting the rise.

Dear Mr Paul as it is very dufficult to get walnuts in my country can I substitute with either almonds and cashews. Tq.

@MrPaulsPantry

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you can use most nut but avoid the cashews as they will go soft in the baking and then no crunch.

Can I use bananas instead of dates and if yes, then can you please tell me how much of bananas (in grams) I should use for this recipe?

if you use greaseproof paper how do you stop it sticking to the cake? I suppose most people's don't but mine did last week and tore the side off. btw you didn't say how long to cook the 1LB tins - I've often wondered if there's a formula for this: if you halve the recipe you don't halve the cooking time or temperature, so how do you work it out? Cheers

@MrPaulsPantry

Hi Kelvin, greaseproof paper is not non-stick, it should be greased like cake tins, etc. The parchment we use in the bakery is silicone treated paper, which is non-stick. When I use greaseproof, I grease the tin first, this helps hole the paper in place. Then I grease the paper whilst it's flat on the table before placing in the tin. I hope this helps.

Sorry, I don't use cups, it's the most inaccurate measuring system. The rest of the world use the metric system, even your local baker won't use cups. Treat yourself to a digital scale, grams are the same the world over. Sorry I can't help.

One egg is enough for this cake is it comes soft cake
