Preparation
Heat oven to 180*. Prepare a loaf tin.
Put the dates into the bowl with 200ml of water. Cook approx 4 minutes on 100*, speed 1.
Let cool for a few minutes.
Add the bananas. Speed 3 for 20 seconds. Scrape the bowl down.
Add nuts, fruit, polenta, spice and baking powder. Also rum. Knead until it just comes together. Place into a bowl.
Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. ( I used a beater)
Fold egg whites into the mixture.
Bake for 1 hour.
