* 1 cup chopped pitted dates
* 1 cup chopped dried figs
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
* 2 eggs
* 1 cup boiling water
* 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch baking pan. In a medium bowl, combine the dates, figs, butter and baking soda.
- Pour in the boiling water, stir well and let stand for 15 minutes. Beat the sugar, walnuts and eggs into the date mixture.
- Combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the date mixture just until blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
