In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. (10 minutes)

Cool and Serve: Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve. (20 minutes)
For an enhanced nutty flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to the batter.
Medjool dates provide a richer, sweeter flavor than other varieties. If using drier dates, consider soaking them for a longer period.
To prevent the bread from sticking, ensure the loaf pans are thoroughly greased and floured.
This bread freezes beautifully. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for optimal freshness.
