Ingredients
  • FOR THE TEA RING:
  • 250 g dates chopped small
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 400 ml freshly made strong Chai tea I used 2 tea bags and let them brew for 5 mins
  • 2 cups wholewheat flour
  • 3 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 cup pecans roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup cashews roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or olive oil
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • FOR THE DRIZZLE:
  • 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. TO MAKE THE TEA RING:
  2. Place the dates in a bowl, sprinkle over the baking soda and pour over the hot tea. Set aside to soften.
  3. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease and lightly flour a 10 inch bundt tin (or two ordinary cake tins).
  4. Stir together the flour, mixed spice, cinnamon, pecans and cashews in a mixing bowl. Then, using a wooden spoon, mix in the honey, coconut oil and the eggs.
  5. When the dates are nice and soft, mash them up with a fork until they look more like a thick paste, it’s fine if a few small pieces of date remain. Now stir the date and tea mixture into the flour mixture until well combined. It will be very moist.
  6. Pour the dough into the bundt tin and bake for 25 - 30 minutes. It's done when a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Once the bread is done, allow it to cool in the tin for about 15 minutes. Turn the bread out onto a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before you pour over the drizzle.
  8. TO MAKE THE DRIZZLE:
  9. In a small bowl, stir all ingredients together until well combined and smooth. Drizzle over the cool bread and serve.
