Grandma Leach's Fruitcake
This fruitcake is really moist and packed with juicy raisins, dates, and walnuts. This is my grandmother's recipe that makes two cakes. She always said applesauce was the secret ingredient. I sold these fruit cakes at bake sales for years. We had so many customers who returned every year to get one!
Date Crumble
This date crumble is a simple treat I've always loved.
Eggless Date Cake
A recipe I started making for my Muslim friends for when they celebrate Eid, and I was able to share with my Sikh grandmother who is vegetarian and doesn't eat eggs. I got the original recipe from an Indian cooking blog, but modified it to the recipe I currently use below. Now it's my most requested cake no matter what the occasion! Delicious on its own, with a cup of tea, or warmed up and topped with vanilla ice cream!
