How to Make Orange Date Loaves
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the orange zest and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chopped dates and orange juice.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze (optional).
