The flavor is good with all the spices, but this bread is too dry.

Wow, what a great recipe. Made it but didnt have orange liqueur so soaked the dates for a couple of hours in the orange juice and 1/2 cup Amaretto liqueur. It was not too bready not too sweet, great to have with tea. I live by the sea so baked for 50 minutes. Will definitely make this again and again!

The orange flavor was too dominant, so that is all I could taste. The texture was good, but I would have liked to have tasted the dates.

Fantastic! I also made the recipe exactly as directed, and agree that those who thought it was too dry must have been using dry dates. I was even a little worried because my loaf pan is a slightly different size, but it came out perfect. The frosting is yummy, but the bread would also be delicious on its own.

A little time consuming, but totally worth it. My husband and I made ourselves sick on it. The frosting is heavenly. Ina is amazing!

Really, really good! I made it just as the recipe directed. I had to bake mine a few minutes longer as I live at sea level. The bread was moist and delicious. I will be making a lot of loaves for Christmas presents!

This is delicious bread. I used all the ingredients as called for, however after reading some of the comments about it being on the dry side I added an extra TB of butter. Even though I did add more butter, I was a bit disappointed with the texture, a little too crumbly. When I make it again, I will definitely add a whole stick of butter instead of half a stick. I made the cream cheese spread someone else here suggested with the green olives and cayenne and added a dash of Tabasco sauce and I love that peppery/savory/salty with the orange fruity date bread. This recipe is "a piece of cake" and is definitely a keeper. Thanks Ina.

LOVE this recipe! It's very similar to one my parents use to make for company, but with "canned" Cross & Blackwell Date & Nut Bread, which wasn't bad. The only minor changes I made to this recipe was to use DARK brown sugar, and omit the cloves! I also make a savory cream cheese spread with cream cheese, chopped green olives and a pinch of cayenne. WOW!!! Like my parents did, I sandwich the savory cream cheese between 2 slices of the sweet date & nut bread. Cut into small triangles, or use cookie cutters for different shapes. FANTASTIC! Thanks so much Ina. Your're the BEST!

Great tasting bread! I made the recipe as given with the cream cheese topping and orange marmalade. Very tasty!
