Reviews
I made the date pudding cake loaf this morning and it looks nothing like the picture in your Holiday Potluck magazine. I soaked the dates in 1 cup of water for five minutes, as directed, and then added this alternately with the flour mixture. The batter was extremely thin and, to me, it appeared that maybe the water should have been drained off. However, since it states: to add "with dates and water mixture", that is what I did. The cake/loaf is extremely brown and not light as pictured and it sunk in the middle. I am extremely disappointed.
