INSTRUCTIONS
Harriet Roth, Deliciously Healthy Jewish Cooking
Yield: Four 20 Ounce Loaves (48 Slices) (1 Slice = 1 Serving)
To standardize the recipe, use four 20-ounce lead free cans, but you can be
as flexible as you choose. Simply decrease the baking time for smaller cans
and increase it for larger ones.
1. Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water and pour immediately over
the orange juice, dates, nuts, and raisins in a heatproof bowl. Let stand
until cool.
2. Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F. Lightly coat four 20-ounce cans with
butter-flavored cooking spray.
3. Beat the egg whites with a whisk until foamy. Add the sugars and
vanilla; beat thoroughly. Add the oil and blend.
4. Add the cooled date mixture. Blend
5. Add the flour one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon until all
the ingredients are moistened.
6. Fill the prepared cans half full of batter. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes,
depending upon the size of the can.
TO SERVE: Let cool slightly in the cans, loosen with a spatula, and remove
to cool on a rack.
TO FREEZE: Wrap the cooled loaves in plastic wrap and then foil. They will
keep very successfully for several months in the freezer.
