Step 1

1. In a sml sauce pot add the dates and orange juice and bring up to a simmer.

3. Give the date and orange juice a stir – when they have cooled enough that it is not steaming add to the sifted dry ingredients. Add the egg and oil mixture.
4. Hand stir to fully combine. Add the raisins at this point if you want.
5. Grease a loaf pan - bake in the oven at 350 for 45 minutes. Check if cake is done the same way as any other cake.
