Captain America: Civil War – Aunt May’s Walnut and Date Loaf
I feel like I’ve been waiting for this movie for years and I’m so happy it’s finally here! I watched Captain America: Civil War on IMAX and like all the other Marvel movies released before, it was fantastic. One of my favorite scenes was the introduction of Spiderman. This recipe for walnut and date loaf is inspired by that scene with Aunt May and Tony Stark chatting over a prize Peter has supposedly won. It was such a funny and memorable scene that I knew immediately I had to recreate the loaf. Let me know if you’ve seen the movie! I would love to hear what you thought of it.
