Date and walnut loaf cake

This recipe reminds me a little bit if sticky toffee sponge receipe. It has a lovely toffee smell when cooking. The dates are soaked in butter and hot water and then mashed up to create a toffee like substance.

Heres the link to the BBC recipe website Date and walnut cake recipe.

I sprinkled sugar and walnuts on the top.

Happy Stir up Sunday!

Today is Stir Up Sunday. The last Sunday before Advent. I made my xmas puddings today, after soaking the fruit is brandy overnight. They are now steaming away in the slow cooker for several hours. This process makes them very moist and full of flavour. Stir-up Sunday dates back to Victorian times, when cooks prepared the Christmas pudding by stirring the mixture and adding silver coins as good luck token!
