This Easy Date and Almond Loaf is super moist and made with the nuttiness of almond meal and pantry packaged dates.
Pre-heat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius and prepare your loaf tin.
Chop the dates and place into a heat proof bowl along with the bicarb soda and vanilla. Cover with 1 cup boiling water and set aside and allow to cool.
Cream the butter and sugar together, add the egg and beat a little bit till combined.
Add the cooled date mixture (important that it's cooled) to the butter mix and combine along with the almond meal, flour and baking powder with a wooden spoon.
Pour into your prepared loaf tin and cook for around 35 to 40 minutes until slightly brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
Rest for 10 minutes and transfer onto a wire rack to cool. Or eat while warm.
