Introduction:
This Date Coffee Loaf Cake combines the rich flavors of coffee with the sweetness of dates, creating a moist and delicious treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped dates
- 1 cup brewed strong coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the dates and coffee:
- In a small bowl, soak the chopped dates in the brewed coffee. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to soften.

- Cream butter and sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla:
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the soaked dates and coffee mixture. Mix until just combined. Fold in chopped nuts, if using.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve:
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Tips for Success:
- Ensure your brewed coffee is strong for a more pronounced coffee flavor in the cake.
- Do not overmix the batter once you’ve added the dry ingredients to avoid a dense texture.
- Store the cooled loaf cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
