Date-Nut Bread Recipe
Ever since i saw this recipe, i was just hooked to it. I wanted to make it for sure..Because i love bread which has nuts and dates in them. Finally i decided a day to make this cake and i got all the ingredients on hand. I made the batter and when i poured it into the loaf pan, the power got cut. What will i do, thank god for the pressure cooker. I used that to bake this cake and it turned out perfect.
This bread was so moist, plus the sweetness from the dates was so good and the crunchyness from the almonds was lovely. Totally this bread is so healthy and taste great with a cup of coffee or chai.

@Anonymousthis bread is meant to have a crust on top and sides. If you make the batter little thinner, it wont happen

Have tried this cake twice and it came out perfect both the times! However i felt if butter was added in place of oil it could be even more softer and moist.Can we use butter instead of oil aarthi? Will that affect the texture?
Aarthi
@Anonymousu can use melted butter if u like
