Pumpkin Date and Nut Bread


Since we've had freezing temperatures already, please join for an inside tea with some wonderful pumpkin date and nut bread and some pumpkin spice tea. 

I found this Autumn Delights cakelet pan last year, and love using it for Autumn treats.  


These little loaves are perfect for gifting!



Yield: i large loaf, or four mini loaves and six cakelets
Author:

Susan found this recipe from a friend, but the recipe comes from Maida Heatter's Cakes Cookbook. If you love dates, spices and pumpkin, you'll love this bread!  Aldi has whole dates at a good price.

ingredients:

  • 2-1/2 cups  flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1- and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • about 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (my addition)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 -15 ounce can pumpkin
  • 8 ounces pitted dates, cut up with kitchen shears
  • 1 cup walnuts, broken or coarsely chopped (I toasted mine)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of raw sugar for sprinkling on top of the loaves, optional

instructions:

How to cook

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and place rack to the lower third of the oven. Butter or spray a 10x5x3 inch loaf pan .  (I used four mini baking loaf pans and my 6 cavity Autumn Delights cakelet pan.  )
  2. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon,  cloves and nutmeg and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, with a hand mixer set on low, beat the eggs just until combined. Add the sugar, beating just to blend. Add the oil, beat just to blend. Mix in the pumpkin, then add the dates. Add the flour mixture and stir or beat only until it is blended, then stir in the nuts. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan(s) and smooth the top. Sprinkle with a little raw sugar over the top of each loaf.  (I didn't add any sugar to the cakelet pan.)
  4. If you are using a large pan, bake for 70-80 minutes. If using smaller pans, baking time will be less, about 45-55 minutes.  My mini leaves took  50 minutes and the cakelets took 25 minutes.  Start checking the loaves with a clean toothpick before the recommended time is over as all ovens are different. The toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf should come out clean. Cool in the pan(s) for 15 minutes before removing to cool on a rack.
  5. Cover and store at room temperature or refrigerator for several days or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2-3 months.

    Harper has tons of energy. I can just imagine the party with lots of bouncing five-year olds. Ha!

    Who doesn’t love dates, pumpkin, and spice? So many recipes; so little time.

    A great week to you, Kitty! I can’t believe how chilly it’s been in Texas already. Some days it has been colder there than here. Crazy.

  13. I love that cakelet pan you used, Kitty, and I'm so glad you enjoyed this recipe! It was a real winner in my book ;) The black, white and cream and tan colors on your sofa and table are a beautiful backdrop. Happy Birthday to both of your wonderful grands!

  14. What an elegant tea time! I especially like the animal print pumpkin! Were you sipping Bigelow's pumpkin spice tea?

    Happy Birthday to the grandkids. My brother is in his late 30s and my parents still call him their "Baby". HA!

  15. Wow, so cold in Texas! You should come to Canada! It's balmy here just now. Your cake pan makes such pretty cakes. Pumpkin is the flavour of the month, isn't it?

  16. This sounds really scrumptious, Kitty. I will have to try this, as I love to make mini loaves of nut breads and fruit cakes for gifting. It's so much fun to wrap them in food safe colored foil wrap or holiday print tissue paper. Gives these little kitchen gifts a vintage look.

    Your cakelet pan is adorable. I'm thinking King Arthur, maybe?

I lose €305,391.04 Euro to this bitcoin trade broker's scam after I noticed I was being used and scammed I asked for help from a friend called Günter Karl she referred me to Wizard Brixton and I wrote to wizardbrixton AT Gmail DOT com and then explained everything to him, he responded fast and I decided to work with him, in less than 72 hours I received my lost funds.

  35. FRAUD TRACING AND RECOVERY MASTERS

    To any victim who has fallen to the recent fake Crypto investment scheme to reach out RECOVERY MASTERS for Recovery services. I fell victim to it, and I was left disgraced by how I lost €214,000 to a fake facebook investor showing off how he made huge profits through investments. Recovery masters are legally authorised Cryptocurrency Recovery experts that I must say were God sent,All my funds were recovered back by the special group of hackers.Their responses are timely and straight forward I must recommend them to any victim suffering loss of funds and needs their funds recovered back.
