14 Jan simple Date Loaf Cake with Pears recipe

Do you believe in second chances? That was for dates. When I was a kid, I would not stand to see people eat dates. I don’t know why I didn’t like the aspect of them, but now as a fully grown-up woman, I love them and appreciate their nutritional value. 

I’m trying to introduce them to my child, and a perfect way is as a cake, and this time I added an extra fruit: pears. If your child is like mine that loves to bake with you, you will love this date loaf with pears because it is a simple recipe to do with little helpers. 

Ingredients: 

• dates
• brown sugar
• butter
• water
• flour
• baking powder
• baking soda
• vanilla
• pears

Frequently Asked Questions about the date loaf with pears

1. Can I make this loaf with other fruit? Yes, you can make it with pears, peaches, etc. or also do it without fruit, just a plain date loaf. 
2. How do I store a date loaf? Store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It will last for 5 days. If it is summer, please keep it refrigerated because of the pear.
