Easy in the making, great in taste!
I used dates as in the basic recipe. When it was time to fold in the nuts I realized I ran out of them - but I had some pinenuts left. And dates and pinenuts - doesn't sound too bad, or?
I had no time to roast them, what would have given them an extra flavour, but it was good like that, too.
Super moisty and tasty cake! If you haven't already: try it out!
P.S.: I always have the problem that my cakes tend to become tents. I had two recommendations. One said: Obviously the dough has problems to raise at the edges, so you should butter the form better. The other one said the complete opposite: Leave some space at the upper end of the mold free from butter. I tried both, and: even if the first tip sounds more logical, in the end the second one did work out! So, no tents anymore, yay!
Mine was dry. I wonder what I did wrong? Yours looks moist and delicious!
AntwortenLöschenPine nuts is an interesting choice. Thanks for sharing your tent results.
AntwortenLöschenIt looks wonderful--I love pine nuts and wouldn't have thought of them here. When we run out of ingredients that's when our results are the most creative.
AntwortenLöschenGreat looking loaf! I've got a bag of pine nuts in the fridge... never thought to use them, though. Nice sub! :)
AntwortenLöschenNothing wrong with pine nuts--we love them! Glad you solved your 'tent' problem. I love it when thing just work! Have a great day.
AntwortenLöschenHmm, pine nuts - that sounds delicious! It fits with the Mediterranean dates, too. Your non-tenting cakes turned out great!

I love dates so I loved this recipe. I'm not that big of fan of pine nuts, but I'm sure that would be interesting!
AntwortenLöschengreat job as usual - love the cracked top.
AntwortenLöschenThis was very tasty! I'm glad you found the solution to your tent cakes!
AntwortenLöschenPine Nuts! Neat idea. We liked this and we are not date likers.
AntwortenLöschenEs war sehr gut, ja?
