Enjoy the rich, sweet taste of our Date Loaf. This moist, tender loaf is packed with flavorful dates, and is perfect for morning or afternoon tea. Enjoy a slice on its own or toast and top with butter.

The recipe seems to have something missing from it. It looks nothing like the picture. I'm using all-purpose gluten-free flour which works for other cake recipes but this one.

I lice all Chelsea recipes they are great thank you
Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease a loaf tin (approximately 22cm x 12cm) and line with baking paper.
Place dates, Chelsea White Sugar, butter and baking soda in a large bowl. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the top and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
Sift in flour and baking powder. Mix until just combined, then transfer to prepared tin.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
Fantastic loaf, made per the recipe but also added (after reading other comments) an egg, and two beaten bananas and I doubled the quantity of dates too. It was absolutely delicious!
