They say if you make three significant changes to a recipe it becomes your own. I haven't gone the stretch, but its still significant enough for me to call it my own I think,



For a while there after the 'Liqueured Peach Cake' I stopped baking. In fact I stopped going into the kitchen other than for warming up stuff, opening takeaway Chinese, and whipping up some awesome milk shakes with super tasty milk from Sarda Farms, more on that later.

This one's for my friend Anjali.
If I had to write a story about this cake, I'd stay it started with a box of dates Mum had on the kitchen table. I could have made a Date & Walnut cake which Mama (my aunt) is renowned for. But then, why try to better the best eh? So I googled for date cakes and came across this really crazy sounding recipe on 'The Wednesday Chef' (Someday I'll figure out how to change the links back to blue, but for now please click on texts which look black and not grey.. yeah weird).

Crazy Yummy Date Cake

That was a mouthful wasn't it? The name... that is... But trust me, once you start having this cake, you will not be able to stop stuffing yourself one mouthful at a time! Especially if you're a coffee lover.
I almost never get excited by just cake. I always need something more, an edge to make it happening for me. This cake though, is soooo good... I sneak into the kitchen and treat myself to a slice now and then. I tweaked a basic pound cake and made it into a coffee cake. Does that make sense? Terribly, horribly influenced by my aunt's Coffee Walnut Cake, something which my sil and I gobble up everytime she makes but forget to take down the recipe for.
