How to Make Beer And Date Coffee Cake

  1. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Lightly toss 1 cup chopped walnuts and 1 cup pitted dates with 2 tablespoons of the dry flour mixture to prevent them from sinking.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of beer, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Stir in the prepared walnuts and dates.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Carefully remove the parchment paper.
  12. Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
