Date & Walnut Loaf Cake

Sharing is caring!

Go nuts this holiday season with Dates & Walnut loaf Cake. This cake is super delicious, soft and moist cake that is a perfect tea time snack and is worth a try. The nutty flavor of dates with walnut is just amazing!! We love making healthy recipes using dates. Do check out our other recipes that have dates in them. This vegan cake is super delicious and you cannot just stop at one piece.

Is this cake really a Sugar free / No Refined Sugar cake ?

Yes this cake gets its sweetness from dates. A few weeks ago, when I received a batch of Organic date from Dubai when my mom visited me this year  I found myself wondering what to do with them.

These sweet, luscious dates on the vine were perfect for snacking, but how else could I get creative with them? Date nut cake was an obvious choice and what a perfect excuse to redo the images for this Date & Walnut Loaf Cake!!

Date & Walnut cake will be a hit at the holiday table this year. It makes a lovely dessert year-round, but its warming qualities are especially welcome in the winter months during a festive celebration.

I have made this many times and it's always delicious! You can skip the nuts of an allergy in the family and it is still good. Especially with a nice, hot cup of coffee in the morning. Yum ! I have Replaced all purpose flour with Gluten free or whole wheat for a healthier version

The dates provide lots of moisture, which makes this a convenient make-ahead dessert—the cake will not dry out if you make it a day or two before the holiday begins. The walnuts add some nice texture and crunch.

This Date & walnut loaf Cake is amazing. Just what my taste buds wanted. Crust is chewy, cuts beautifully, and so moist. This is my new go to recipe!

Enjoy This No- Egg, No-Butter and No-Refined Sugar Date & Walnut loaf cake.

Made this recipe twice. First time I used a load pan and could not get the center fully cooked. After scooping out the mushy center, we ate the outside and it was yummy. The second time, I decided to use a muffin pan. It took about 35 minutes of baking but they came out fully cooked and tasted great. I added some pumpkin pie spice which really enhanced the flavor. Will make again.
