What is date nut bread made of? Cream sugar and butter together. Add eggs, vanilla, dates and soaking liquid, nuts, flour, and salt. Divide batter equally between two 9x5-inch (or three 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch) greased loaf pans. Bake 1 hour at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) (or until loaf tests done). This bread will stay good when stored properly for 4-5 days at room temperature.
