Today's TWD recipe was chosen by Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet. Recipe can be found at her blog HERE or on page 228 of Baking by Dorie Greenspan.I'm not a fan of dates so I used chopped, dried apricots and baked this in a cake pan with a sprinkling of streusel topping instead of a loaf pan. It turned out kind of like a coffee cake. Yum!
I would say you made some excellent changes. Looks delish. I love dates so this was excellent.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
The apricots in lieu of dates are a great choice - yum!
ReplyDeleteWe are twins this week - I used dried apricots too. There were no dates at my store. Weird, huh? Anyway, mine is a very pretty cake, but we found it to be a bit dry. Yours looks moist and delicious.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loved the dates but I would prefer the apricots and want to make this again with them.
ReplyDeleteYou made some good changes.
I think apricots are a great idea! I love your bread/coffee cake! I used chocolate chips because I didn't have any fruit around:)
ReplyDeleteLove your streusel topping, Tia - I bet it was fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteStreusel makes everything better, doesn't it? And I love the idea of using apricots. Lovely cake!
ReplyDeleteI used to bake with apricots and I need to do that more. I like dates so I really liked this week's choice. Good call adding the topping!
ReplyDeleteThough I do like dates, apricots sounds even better and I LOVE making it into a coffee cake with the streusel topping!
ReplyDeleteYour coffee cake version looks and sounds delicious!
ReplyDeletei love that you added a streusel topping. Thanks so much for baking along with me this week!
ReplyDeleteApricots are a good choice for this one. Looks tasty.
