How to Make Date Nut Bread Pre 1940 S

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and frothy. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
3. Add 1 cup chopped pitted dates and 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
