I remember this old treat that use to show up around the holidays that I haven’t had literally in decades.
The part about it I remember most, other than how good it was, was the strange bit that at the time the cake came out of a can.
Seriously cake from a can? Yep a can, however I wasn’t even sure what sort of cake it was, this being such an old memory.
Doing some research (Google) I was able to find a picture of the can I remember it coming in. That’s when I found out that it was Dromedary Date Nut Roll, which has not been produced for years.
Out of luck? Hardly there are plenty of date bread recipes… yeah, forget that.
Going to the same place I found the picture of the Date Nut Roll* I found a local bakery that makes date Nut bread, to avoid making this an ad I’ll just say it’s in Homewood.
With that, and some whipped cream cheese, I was able to savor a treat I haven’t had since I was 12.
It was great!
