MeMe's Recipes | Date Nut Cake

[@vickimoen805]

My favorite recipe for the holidays is Date-Nut Bread. When I was going to college and working in the bakery I made Date-Nut bread for my teachers and friends. One year I made 30 loaves and spent 7 hours delivering them.

[@memesrecipessc]

Beautiful memory. Labor of love!

[@loubelle385]

@@vickimoen805 WOW, how very kind of you! I know it was enjoyed by all who received a loaf. A gift made by hand has always been a very special gift to me!

[@raindrops-12]

God Bless you for doing that. ❤😊❤

When I was just a little girl, for Christmas my Mother would always make a “Prune Cake” several days before Christmas and put it on a shelf in the cabinet. She said it was better if it sat for a few days! I have never seen another Prune Cake, but love the looks of your Date Cake! As a Texan, I love love love all those beautiful pecans in the mixture! I am going to check out your source for pecans to make your Date Cake!” Thanks so much! Love and Blessings from Dallas! 🩷🙏🇺🇸✝️

My grandmother made prune cake too with a delicious lemon glaze. I like date nut bread sandwiches with cream cheese!

[@loubelle385]

@ I have not heard of or seen a prune cake since my Mother made them in the ‘50s! Thanks for commenting. Nice to know someone else is familiar with them. Blessings to you and your family! 🙏✝️🇺🇸

[@Ruthbaby175]

My mother made prune cake. It was my favorite, she had to hide it!

[@loubelle385]

@@Ruthbaby175 How neat! I remember the cake being very moist. I don’t remember if there was a frosting on the ones she made. Thanks for commenting about it! Love and blessings to you and your family from Dallas, TX! 🙏✝️🇺🇸

Those pecans would be so good in my homemade pecan pie. I just bought 2 deep dish pie shells today while at Walmart. It's a never fail recipe that I have used for years and I always get raves on the pie.

Who does all the giggling ?

[@memesrecipessc]

That’s my daughter… we have fun. Yall have no idea what goes on behind the scenes! 😂❤️

[@carolcole570]

@ LOL, LOL. Being an 8th generation Atlantan, I can guess ! Give giggles a hug from me. By the way, our family has made a date nut cake for the past 70 years. One cup of sugar. One cup of flour. But, we like to mix the dry ingredients and keep them refrigerated overnight to let them marinate. One year we decided to bypass this step. WRONG decision. Plus, we put ours in a cake pan. AND then ( we don’t use alcohol ) we soak some cheese cloth in orange juice, squeeze out, and wrap the cake for refrigeration. We use more orange juice every few days, keeping it moist. I may be mistaken, but I do not think we use butter in it. Just eggs and a little vanilla. ( I THINK )❤️

[@karenughoc2849]

I love dates. When I was a teenager, I used to go with my grandmother to a nut and fruit stands and get dates. I want to make this but have to leave out nuts, 😮not able to eat them. I will double the dates.

[@tcrobinson6798]

YUM😊

[@janet20257]

Could I reduce the sugar a little and throw in some candied cherries for Christmas?

[@memesrecipessc]

Not sure about reducing the sugar. I haven’t ever tried it. Go for it with the cherries.

Me-Me do you have a good Jam cake recipe? I know you have got to have a good one.

[@memesrecipessc]

I am not sure .... can you describe the cake?

[@CookieMorgan-j3c]

@ Jam cake, it has Raisins, all spice, cinnamon, butter milk, pecans or walnuts, I can’t remember what else. I know the longer it sits the moisture it is. The ladies would usually make 3 layers and make the icing and freeze it for about 3-4 weeks before Christmas and it would be so moist.

[@CookieMorgan-j3c]

Here in KY we call it Jam Cake. It has blackberry jam in it

[@BellaBellz-m8b]

Yummy

[@judithtopping7988]

❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@janemartin229]

You don't press the batter down in the pan like a fruit cake? It would probably be good with some coconut in it, too. I love those Date Fingers with Rice Krispies that you roll in coconut!

[@lynneb620]

My late Mom used to make those date/ Rice Krispie / coconut rolls ! They were yummy ! Thanks for the memory ! ♥️

I tried to buy some of the pecans and the code you provided didn't work on the pecan pantry website.😢. So I went to the store and bought my pecans.

[@memesrecipessc]

Sorry to hear that… numerous others have used it. I will check with the pecan pantry.

[@techguy9999]

looks great and a little dry - could you add a pack of cream cheese to this? try that recipe out for us please :)

Hard to capture good pics… it wasn’t dry. But remember it gets better as it sits🤗. If you feel like it would be dry… back off the cooking time a bit.

[@judithmatthews8460]

Years ago in the UK pecans were so expensive. But I was travelling on a ship from Israel to France bringing them for the posh retailers. First time I tried some. Sadly when we reached France the Indian crew had got into the cargo and most of the pecans were gone. The company went nuts!! 😉. But hard to question those who couldn’t speak English. Next trip they put crime tape and padlocks on every container and set up a camera. Never forget those pecans!!

[@memesrecipessc]

wow!!! That is crazy!!!

[@judithmatthews8460]

@@memesrecipessc oh yes. But the Indian crew who suddenly learnt English shared the pecans with me they’d stashed. I was just wife of the Chief Officer so I had to promise not to tell!! Oh those pecans were like nectar. But the crew loved me and spoilt me rotten. They rescued me in Saudi Arabia when police tried mistakenly to arrest me for drinking beer when it was Coke and in Dubai when the shop were overcharging me for fabric. They took me back and I got yards for next to nothing. Those were the days!! God sends angels in all sorts of disguises if we just believe!
