Weekday cakes
These cakes are perfect for weekday projects as they don't take too long, are simple but with a little pizzazz.

This delicious date and walnut cake is even better the day after making – if you can wait that long! This is a really easy cake to make as you don't need a mixer to cream the butter, just melt it in boiling water that also helps to soften the dates. A spoon of instant coffee granules gives it an extra kick.
Equipment and Preparation: You will need 1 x 900g/2lb loaf tin.
