- Pour 1 cup water into a small pot and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, stir in dates, soda, and butter.
- Reduce heat, and simmer until dates are very soft, about 20 minutes.

- Combine flour, baking powder and raisins in a separate bowl.
- When dates have cooled, stir in beaten egg and ½ cup hot water.
- Add flour to date mixture and stir until combined.
- Pour into well-greased 6.5" x 4" x 2" loaf pan and bake at 325 degrees for 45 - 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
- A standard-sized loaf pan can also be used, but will create a flat loaf. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes.

AMERICAN SPICED DATE LOAF
This is a hand written recipe from a friend I had in high school. A dense loaf best served warm with butter. Not sure where the recipe originates from, but it really is wonderful.

Steps:
- Soak the dried fruits in the orange juice for about 30 mins, then sieve, reserving the juice.
- Put the flour, yeast, caster sugar and 1 tsp salt into a large mixing bowl with the spices and soaked fruit and mix well. Make a well in the centre and pour in the warm milk, reserved orange juice, the beaten egg and the melted butter. Mix everything together to form a dough - start with a wooden spoon and finish with your hands. If the dough is too dry, add a little more warm water; if it's too wet, add more flour.
- Knead in the bowl or on a floured surface until the dough becomes smooth and springy. Transfer to a clean, lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with a clean, damp tea towel. Leave in a warm place to rise until roughly doubled in size - this will take about 1 hr depending on how warm the room is.
- Knock the dough back by kneading for a few secs. Dust 2 x 2lb loaf tins with flour. Halve the dough. Use a little flour to help you shape each half into a smooth oval, then pop them into the tins. Cover both loosely with a clean, damp tea towel and leave to prove in a warm place for about 20 mins. Meanwhile, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- Bake for 20 mins, then cool in the tins before turning out and slicing.
