This baked up into a beautiful, well rounded loaf that was done in about 50 minutes. The bread is full of flavor and very moist. The combination of dates and dried apricots is wonderful. I did use the 3/4 cup brown sugar, Baking Spice Blend Mix in place of the cinnamon and pecans in place of walnuts. Thanks much for posting this delicious recipe.

    Great tasting loaf! Loved the taste combo of dates, apricots & nuts! I did substitute an herbal tea for the coffee, but other than that, directions were followed! I did serve it up with honey butter! Will be making this again! [Made & reviewed for one of my teammates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #15]
