Date Pecan Tea Bread
Packed with dates and pecans, this sweet bread is excellent on its own and even better topped with the chunky cream cheese spread. We enjoy it during the holiday season, but also for after-school and late-night snacks. —Carole Resnick, Cleveland, Ohio

I personally don't like cream cheese unless it's totally hidden in the recipe, so I went without the spread. This bread is moist and wonderful....will make it quite often. Thanks so much for the share.

Delicious, even without the spread, and the longer you leave it, the better it gets! For health reasons, I'm cutting back on fat and this is a very good option for when the cake cravings strike. Also very good for breakfast. I'll definitely be making again.
Thank you, Carole, for this AMAZING recipe! It's the best date nut bread I've ever had! Instead of making one loaf, I made five smaller loaves (3" x 5.5" size) and reduced the baking time to 38 minutes. My batter was a little thin, so I added 2 tablespoons of flour, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Delicious!
Nice fall flavors.
This is the best date bread I have tasted! So moist and the date flavor is throughout. I will definitely be making this bread again. Here is an update on this recipe. I took out all of the sugar and substituted 3/4 cup honey and I added chopped almonds instead of the pecans. It turned out fabulously.
I enjoyed this loaf and will make it again. The flavour of the dates and blend of spices is very nice. This is a moist loaf and ages well without drying out. Next time though, I think I will try using a bit less sugar because the loaf may border on being a tad too sweet for some. Otherwise, a recipe to keep!
