Kahlua & Date & Nut Bread
"Kahlua-mmmmmmmm, dates-great, nuts-yummy. When I saw this recipe I had to try it immediately. Slice thinly, enjoy with a cup of tea or maybe even with a small glass of Kahlua."

I used to have a similar recipe and it had a topping that called for cream cheese, butter, kahlua, and orange peel. I do not know how much of each ingredient but would love to know.

I loved using Kahlua in this recipe, and how there is no oil and minimal margarine (I used butter). I used 1/2 cup dates and 1/2 cups raisins which worked great. I also added shredded coconut on top before baking, it gives it a great flavor and slight crunch on top. If you like coconut, I think adding coconut to the mixture would be divine! I left out the orange rind because I don't like the orange flavor in my baked goods. -
Wow, this smelt so good I couldn't even wait for it to cool before trying. I omitted the orange rind & used flaked almonds for the nuts, this was delicious, a keeper for sure. Made for Spring PAC 07. -
Did it but used only 1/2 cup of sugar . Added 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast and did it as muffins. Came out great. Next time will add coconut . tky

Delicious bread and with it's hint of chocolate from the Kahlua, the background taste of citrus and the sweetness of the dates -- you can't go wrong. The bread is not overly sweet and we liked that -- it was a little crusty on top, but was nice and moist inside despite the absence of oil or more butter. Will definitely make again! Made for Sweet December tag, December, 2013. -
This is awesome! I love it. The kahlua gives it a bit of roasted flavor. You can see the only substantial fat is in the 2TBL of margerine and that's nothing compared to most bread recipes. This is one of my new favorite breads!!! I actually only made it to use up some dried pitted dates I had and loved it so much I had to go buy some more dates! Thanks for sharing!!!
