A DATE WITH RUM CAKE
Ingredients:
1 tsp ginger
¼ cup applesauce
¼ cup milk
1 cup chopped dates
2¼ cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
¾ tsp BP
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup oil
Dark rum
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup mandarins
1. Chop dates finely until you have 1 cup, then add to them enough rum to saturate them (they oughtn’t to be swimming in it, unless that suits your fancy).
2. Mix together the applesauce & BP in a small bowl then set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine ingredients from flour to salt and set aside.
4. Add to the bowl containing the flour mixture, the applesauce mixture, dates, oranges, oil & milk.
5. Spoon batter into pan & bake in a 350 (C) oven for 30-35 minutes.
6. Cool and enjoy!
