raw honey (preferably

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 325ºF. Butter a 9-inch cake pan or pie plate, then dust with flour (tap out excess). Or butter then line bottom with a circle of parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, zest, cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
  3. Add eggs, dates, nuts and milk and mix well. (TIP: It’ll be thick and chunky, so you'll need to use some elbow grease.) Pour into pan, leveling off with the back of a spoon. Place pan on a baking sheet and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until top is light to golden brown and center springs back when pressed.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare butter: In a small bowl, combine butter and honey. Serve with bread. Bread can be served warm or at room temperature.
