My favorite recipe for the holidays is Date-Nut Bread. When I was going to college and working in the bakery I made Date-Nut bread for my teachers and friends. One year I made 30 loaves and spent 7 hours delivering them.
@@vickimoen805 WOW, how very kind of you! I know it was enjoyed by all who received a loaf. A gift made by hand has always been a very special gift to me!
When I was just a little girl, for Christmas my Mother would always make a “Prune Cake” several days before Christmas and put it on a shelf in the cabinet. She said it was better if it sat for a few days! I have never seen another Prune Cake, but love the looks of your Date Cake! As a Texan, I love love love all those beautiful pecans in the mixture! I am going to check out your source for pecans to make your Date Cake!” Thanks so much! Love and Blessings from Dallas! 🩷🙏🇺🇸✝️
@ I have not heard of or seen a prune cake since my Mother made them in the ‘50s! Thanks for commenting. Nice to know someone else is familiar with them. Blessings to you and your family! 🙏✝️🇺🇸
@@Ruthbaby175 How neat! I remember the cake being very moist. I don’t remember if there was a frosting on the ones she made. Thanks for commenting about it! Love and blessings to you and your family from Dallas, TX! 🙏✝️🇺🇸
Yum! Can’t wait to try this🎉One of my fondest memories of visiting my grandmother was us kids picking up papershell pecans to make pies and being so impressed that Grandma could crack open two in one hand😂🥰 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
I just bought my husband some date nut bars yesterday. He ate half the bag! I will definitely make this recipe SOON!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Those pecans would be so good in my homemade pecan pie. I just bought 2 deep dish pie shells today while at Walmart. It's a never fail recipe that I have used for years and I always get raves on the pie.
MeMe, this recipe looks delicious. I like that it makes two loaves. I will be making some during the holidays. I love your pretty sweater. It is nice to have your cookbooks so I have recipe handy. Thanks for the info for ordering pecans. Bless you. 😊❤
That’s my daughter… and we have a ball! Yall don’t see all that goes on behind the scenes that prompts the laughter. It’s okay… we are an acquired taste…. We aren’t offended if you scroll on! 🤭❤️
Oh Me Me definitely going to make, it looks absolutely divine but I will be having it spread with lots of Butter, butter makes everything better. Best wishes Leanne Qld Australia 😊
Going to make this 😍 Just a question with the butter , our sticks of butter in Australia are 250grams . How many grams is the stick you used ? Thankyou 😊
My aunt liked to make date nut cake or bread? I have tried to find dates and cannot find them in our local grocery store. Where have you found what you used?
Years ago in the UK pecans were so expensive. But I was travelling on a ship from Israel to France bringing them for the posh retailers. First time I tried some. Sadly when we reached France the Indian crew had got into the cargo and most of the pecans were gone. The company went nuts!! 😉. But hard to question those who couldn’t speak English. Next trip they put crime tape and padlocks on every container and set up a camera. Never forget those pecans!!
@@memesrecipessc oh yes. But the Indian crew who suddenly learnt English shared the pecans with me they’d stashed. I was just wife of the Chief Officer so I had to promise not to tell!! Oh those pecans were like nectar. But the crew loved me and spoilt me rotten. They rescued me in Saudi Arabia when police tried mistakenly to arrest me for drinking beer when it was Coke and in Dubai when the shop were overcharging me for fabric. They took me back and I got yards for next to nothing. Those were the days!! God sends angels in all sorts of disguises if we just believe!
I love dates. When I was a teenager, I used to go with my grandmother to a nut and fruit stands and get dates. I want to make this but have to leave out nuts, 😮not able to eat them. I will double the dates.
@ LOL, LOL. Being an 8th generation Atlantan, I can guess ! Give giggles a hug from me. By the way, our family has made a date nut cake for the past 70 years. One cup of sugar. One cup of flour. But, we like to mix the dry ingredients and keep them refrigerated overnight to let them marinate. One year we decided to bypass this step. WRONG decision. Plus, we put ours in a cake pan. AND then ( we don’t use alcohol ) we soak some cheese cloth in orange juice, squeeze out, and wrap the cake for refrigeration. We use more orange juice every few days, keeping it moist. I may be mistaken, but I do not think we use butter in it. Just eggs and a little vanilla. ( I THINK )❤️
You don't press the batter down in the pan like a fruit cake? It would probably be good with some coconut in it, too. I love those Date Fingers with Rice Krispies that you roll in coconut!

My grandmother made prune cake too with a delicious lemon glaze. I like date nut bread sandwiches with cream cheese!

My mother made prune cake. It was my favorite, she had to hide it!

Me-Me do you have a good Jam cake recipe?
I know you have got to have a good one.

Yummy
Do you have a plum or prune cake recipe?
I will have to look in my collection
❤❤❤❤❤😊
Who does all the giggling ?
That’s my daughter… we have fun. Yall have no idea what goes on behind the scenes! 😂❤️

Could I reduce the sugar a little and throw in some candied cherries for Christmas?
Not sure about reducing the sugar. I haven’t ever tried it. Go for it with the cherries.
@memesrecipessc thank you 😊
Don't forget the bottom shelf lol
😂Kay Kay said… Mama, I was waiting… and you didn’t say the bottom rack!
@memesrecipessc I was waiting for it to lol
I tried to buy some of the pecans and the code you provided didn't work on the pecan pantry website.😢. So I went to the store and bought my pecans.
Sorry to hear that… numerous others have used it. I will check with the pecan pantry.
You don't press the batter down in the pan like a fruit cake? It would probably be good with some coconut in it, too. I love those Date Fingers with Rice Krispies that you roll in coconut!
My late Mom used to make those date/ Rice Krispie / coconut rolls ! They were yummy ! Thanks for the memory ! ♥️
I have a video on Crispy Date Balls… love those things! A bite of fall! Coconut would be great!
@@memesrecipesscThanks MeMe. My sisters and I have most of my Mom’s recipes, but I don’t recall coming across that one ! I’m “Shining for Jesus” ❤️🙏🏻
looks great and a little dry - could you add a pack of cream cheese to this? try that recipe out for us please :)
Hard to capture good pics… it wasn’t dry. But remember it gets better as it sits🤗. If you feel like it would be dry… back off the cooking time a bit.
