Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings:
2 ½ cups chopped dates
¼ cup butter
1 cup boiling water
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees F). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, combine dates and butter. Pour boiling water over top and let stand until cool.
Stir cooled date mixture to break up any clumps. Add brown sugar and egg; mix until well blended.
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir flour mixture into date mixture until just blended. Stir in walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
