7-UP DATE NUT LOAF
This one is simply delicious—and as simple as it is delicious. You’ll find that the subtle 7-Up lemon-and-lime flavor adds to the taste appeal of the loaf and, at the same time, brings a lightness to this usually heavy but delectable dessert. You can serve it with a whipped cream.
1 cup chopped dates
1 7-oz. bottle 7-Up
1 tsp. baking soda
Bring dates and 7-Up to a boil, add baking soda and set aside to cool.
ADD:
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp. butter
1 egg
1½ cups flour
½ cup chopped nuts
1 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt
Beat very well—pour into loaf pan (5 × 9 × 3). Bake 1 hour in a 350° oven.
