I love all the interest in making these breads. I plan to start making some soon.....as soon as I have some empty cans. Do you have to open the bottom end and push the bread out, or does it come out easily without doing that?

You will need to grease and flour the can (just as you would a regular baking pan), bake and then cool for approx 3-5 minutes. Once cool, turn upside down, tap the bottom, and the contents will just slide out.

Oh my, this was a real grown up treat in my family. My mom would make it for dad. Still have her recipe on her own recipe card. Much the same as others posted here. Anyone ever try using prunes instead?

I have made this for nearly 60 years, using Mother-in-Law's recipe. BUT have you tried to take the end out of the new style soup cans? Impossible as far as I can see.
The pull tab cans are not even easy to open, let alone get the end out of the can. My can opener will NOT remove the end of these cans. Soup cans were the choice because they made a smaller, neater slice. Date/Nut Bread with Cream Cheese was a favorite winter dessert.

You can bake any date nut bread recipe in a can.
You can also bake homemade bread in flower pots. There's a restaurant in Western Kentucky by Kentucky Lake that serves flower pot bread with strawberry butter. OMG it's to die for. They also serve their drinks in pint mason jars.

While I know it can be baked in almost any kind of container, I still like the soup can size for neat little slice of Date/Nut bread. This also gives me a good excuse to no longer have to bake. At my age, it is time to knock a few baking jobs off my list of house hold chores. i cannot bake and sew and I would rather be piecing quilts.
The strawberry butter is also served in other places around the area, and especially in Indiana. I recall having it several years ago.
