Description
I picked up this recipe around ten years ago at a health food convention. It was put out by either the california fig board or pistachio board – i forget which. Plainly, they were in cahoots. Anyway, this is just delicious – probably my all-time favourite loaf cake. Prep time includes soaking of fruit and nuts.
