Similar to banana bread, this moist cake is enriched with creamy buttermilk, brown sugar, butter, walnuts, and rum. Apple juice can be substituted for the rum, and pecans for the walnuts.
You'll need just six ingredients, including a convenient boxed cake mix, to bake up these chewy bars chock-full of walnuts and dates. They are my husband's favorite snack, and he loves to take them to work. I often whip up a batch for bake sales or to share with my co-workers at our local car dealership.
