Get your pastel workout gear on and prepare for some easy stretches and freeform dancing!
If you prefer to just watch me with a cup of tea, feel free!
You could even eat a slice of her very own cake while I’m huffing and puffing trying to keep up!
It’s a delicious cake, simple to make, lasts for ages and you can freeze it!
Angela Lansbury’s Walnut Date Bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda/bicarbonate of soda
1 cup chopped pitted dates
⅔ cup walnut pieces
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1¾ cups unbleached all-purpose/plain flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Strawberry cream cheese, optional*
Preheat the oven to 325℉.
Generously oil a 9×5-inch loaf pan and dust it with flour.
Place the butter, baking soda, dates and 1 cup of boiling water into a heatproof mixing bowl. Let this cool. Mix in the walnuts, sugar, egg yolk, flour and vanilla extract. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour.
Cool for 10 minutes and remove from the pan onto a rack to cool. Slice and serve with strawberry cream cheese and freshly brewed tea.
* If you can’t buy strawberry cream cheese where you are, it’s simple to rustle some up. Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar/icing sugar and 1 cup fresh strawberries to 8 oz/225g cream cheese and whizz up in a food processor.
