Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams pitted dates
- 50 grams crystallized ginger (finely chopped)
- 200 grams self-raising flour
- 250 ml milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a 9x5-inch loaf tin with baking parchment or lightly grease it.
Place the pitted dates in a heatproof bowl and pour the milk over them. Let this sit for 5-10 minutes to soften the dates.
Using a fork or immersion blender, mash the dates and milk together until you achieve a coarse paste. It’s okay if there are still small chunks of dates for added texture.
Stir in the finely chopped crystallized ginger.
Gradually fold in the self-raising flour, mixing gently until no dry flour remains. Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is, or with a spread of butter for added indulgence.
