Dates

Long gone is the dried handful of nuts & raisins we grew up with - this moist dense cake will without doubt sustain all your explorers. It contains goodness from walnuts, almonds and dates but isn’t without decadence – she sports a sweet creamy caramel coconut topping. Just the thing to enjoy with a thermos of hot tea on the riverbank or even with friends and a cuppa at home.

Full of seeds, nuts and grains with the added benefit of molasses and salted dark chocolate – consider this slice a rather fancy scroggin in an easy-to-eat bar. Photography by Jani Shepherd.
