colbarch, try this one - I promise you it's a "really nice moist loaf".

DATE LOAF
1 cup each of dates and boiling water
1 tsp baking soda
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tbsp butter, softened
1 egg
1½ cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt

Place the dates in a bowl, then pour the boiling water over and sprinkle the baking soda over. Cover the bowl and leave until cold (overnight is ok).
Mix the brown sugar and butter, then add the egg and beat together until thick and spongy. Add the sifted flour, baking powder and salt, alternately with the date mixture. Place in a greased loaf tin.
Bake at 180°C for about 1 hour.
Variation: For a nice mixed fruit and nut loaf add, with the dates, about ½ cup sultanas and a few chopped nuts. :-))

Cold Tea Loaf ...

2 C flour
4 t baking powder
1 C brown sugar
1 C boiled tea
1 C dried fruit
1 t ginger
1/2 t cinnamon (I'm not a huge fan)

Place fruit in with the cup of boiled tea, leave for a few hours or overnight.
Next day (or later on) mix all ingredients together and pour into a greased loaf tin and cook for approx 1 hr 10 mins @ 160 deg C.
This not only freezes well but is STILL moist up to 5 days later (and oh so cheap to make!)

1 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon cloves

Mix sugar and butter then add eggs 1 at a time.

Slowly add Warm apple sauce and mix well.

Stir in flour and dry ingredients.

This is the most moistest cake and soft cake out!! It makes a big cake and I always double it and freeze one:)

If you have it, you can replace the Cinnamon with a dutch spice mix called "Speculaas spice" and its just as Devinne!!

My daughter came across this recipe in a magazine - really moist
Kumara & Walnut Loaf
400gr golden kumara, peeled & chopped
1½ cups self raising flour
1 tsp mixed spice
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
125gr butter, melted
¼ cup milk
½ cup chopped walnuts

Cream Cheese filling:
125gr lite cream cheese @ room temp
¼ cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
Spray & line a loaf tin. First prepare cream cheese filling, by creaming the butter & sugar together till smooth. Then add egg, beating until well combined. Set aside. Cook the kumara till tender, drain & mash until smooth. You’ll need 1 cup mashed cooled kumara. Lightly blend the flour, spice & sugar in a bowl. Whisk together the eggs, butter, & milk. Stir into flour mix along with kumara & walnuts. Spoon half this mixture into prepared loaf tin. Then spread all the cream cheese filling. Finish the top by spreading on remaining kumara mixture. Bake @ 180°C for about 1 hour. Allow to cool before turning out. Cut into thick slices to serve.

1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 cups self raising flour
1 cup milk
2 lemons including zest and juice

Cream butter, oil and sugar, add eggs, beat until creamy and whitish. Add flour (optional 2 or 3 tbsps coconut also), add lemon zest and juce, add milk to make a kind of batter.
Put into a large dish, and bake 160 degrees for about 90 minutes.
Sounds like ages, but it does need it.
