Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield Cuts into 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 13

200g butter , cut into cubes, plus extra for greasing
140g stoned date , chopped
410ml can evaporated milk
100g soft dark brown sugar
225g plain flour
3 tbsp malted milk powder (we used Horlicks)
2 tsp ground ginger
50g stem ginger , roughly chopped (reserve the syrup)
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 large eggs
50g stem ginger , chopped
5 tbsp ginger syrup (from the stem ginger jar)
5 tbsp icing sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 900g/2lb loaf tin with baking parchment. Put the dates, evaporated milk and sugar in a small saucepan, bring to the boil and cook for 5 mins until the dates are soft and the sugar has dissolved. Leave to cool.
  • Put the flour, malted milk powder, ground ginger, stem ginger, bicarb and butter into a food processor, and blitz until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Pour in the cooled date mixture and the eggs, and pulse briefly until the mixture is combined. Tip into your prepared tin and bake for 1 hr 15 mins until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool for 10 mins in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack. Combine all the ingredients for the drizzle and spoon over the cake. Leave to set before serving. This cake is delicious if eaten on the day it is made, but will improve after a day or 2 in the cake tin.

Tips:

  • Use ripe dates: Softer dates are easier to blend and will result in a smoother loaf. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller pan will result in a thicker loaf that may not cook evenly.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 45 minutes, but may vary depending on your oven.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This date and ginger loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With only four ingredients, it is a great recipe for beginner bakers or those who are short on time. The loaf is moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. It is also a good source of fiber and potassium. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or dessert, give this date and ginger loaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
