I had no idea this bread could be this good! My first clue was after assembling all the ingredients and combining everything just before adding to the bread pan — the resultant mixture was so rich in texture that I just knew this had to be an awesome bread! Thanks, Sara 76! Made for Vegetarian Recipe Swap.

This was so yummy! It had the perfect hint of orange and the dates were so tasty. The only thing I would change for making it in the future is to double the recipe because by this morning all of it was gone. Thank you for posting such a lovely recipe

Really great! I'm in the US so the measurements were approximate (60 grams of butter is approximately 1/2 a stick here for example, and 180C is just about 350F). I did not have orange juice, so I soaked the dates in Grand Marnier and used 2/3 cherry cider (it was the only juice I had in my fridge). Also, it makes more than can fit in our loaf pans here, so I had enough batter for a regular loaf pan and also a mini-loaf pan. You only want to fill the pans halfway because when you have self rising flour, it really does rise!! FYI - you can make self raising flour by ading 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 Tablespoon baking powder to 2 cups of regular flour.

Reviewed during Aussie NZ Forum Recipe Swap August 08 A beautiful moist loaf that really doesn't even need butter to be enjoyed. My family loved it. Easy to put together and turned out wonderfully. I added the juice of one large orange and topped the measure to the required amount with water as I only had one orange. I also added the zest of the orange for extra flavour. This was such an easy cake to make and uses up those bananas that nobody wants to eat. We used three bananas to make the required one cup of mashed bananas. Photos also to be posted
