Caramel, date and banana loaf

[em]

mmmm made this today with some half dead looking nanas, very nice with some butter on and warmed up a little!

Trying this tonight. 

Just a tip... using fresh Medjool dates makes it quite difficult to mix... think I need to try dried ones next time. 

Thanks for the recipe!

Fresh Medjool dates?  WOW they're so expensive over here (UK) that I wouldn't dream of putting them in a cake.  I soooo need to emigrate 

This cake looks yummy - I'm definitely going to give it a go this weekend or next week.

I'd serve this for breakfast to my children after all have you seen what's in breakfast cereal?

Nik, they are rather expensive here in West Aussie too. I'm afraid I used nice dried dates for this recipe.

Just made this - fabulous- thank you Charabelle!

Yes, the Medjools aren't cheap but they were all I had in the house... and I needed to use up some bananas! 

It was delicious and devoured by the kids!

Fresh medjools never stay in my house - they're devoured in no time!

Just had a brief look at your blog - I have one on the autistic spectrum too, my oldest - certainly stops life getting dull 

Wouldn't change him for the world, he exasperates me often but he is a fabulous boy

Made this yesterday-good blend of flavours and moister than the banana, date and walnut bread in the EDC.

Thanks for posting!

made this today and it was lovely..only thing was i used rapadura instead of brown sugar and i preferred them in mini cakes than the large loaf but i made both...the only warning i would put on this is that when you mixed the dates then add the rest of the ingredients make sure that the dates are mixed in to the rest of the mixture and not stuck in the bottom of the bowl..luckily i noticed that alot of it had stayed at hte bottom of the bowl and mixed it in with the spatula..also I chopped up the banana in half slices about half a cm and they stayed in little bits through the cake which made it very nice...in any case thankyou it is a lovely recipe

I'm just trying this out now, mine is in the oven and oozing over the edges of the tin wish I read the comments below all the way to the bottom  - Doh! I also left out the dates...hope they weren't a must?

Success!  I brought it into work today for morning tea and it went down a treat, even had a few people ask for the recipe, I'm going to give this ago again tonight but with the dates, be interesting to see how much of a difference they make.  Today at work I forgot you were supposed to add dates so thought it wasn't very sweet although with a spread of butter it tasted lovely.  I'll bring this other loaf in with me tomorrow and will see what the verdict is

I've also just made the date and lime cake in the thermo too....my husband is away (3 weeks now) and I'm sooo bored hence the baking.  The peeps at work are getting it good though and are appreciating my baking!

Made this recipe this afternoon.  I made it as patty cake sized muffins - perfect for the school lunch box!  I also added Choc chips.

Kids and husband all love them.
