Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

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.

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

375 g pitted dates, chopped
2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 tablespoon crushed ginger
1 cup self-raising flour

Steps:

Add coffee to 1 cup boiling water & mix, pour over dates & soak overnight.
Stir in flour & ginger.
Pour mixture into a paper-lined or well-greased loaf tin & bake at 160.C for approx 45 minutes.
Serve with butter.

Tips:

Choose ripe dates: Softer dates are easier to blend or puree, resulting in a smoother loaf. If using dried dates, soak them in warm water for 15 minutes before using.
Use a good quality malt extract: Malt extract adds a rich, malty flavor to the loaf. Look for a dark or amber malt extract for a more intense flavor.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: This will ensure that the loaf has enough room to rise and bake properly.
Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
Let the loaf cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help the loaf to hold together better.

Conclusion:

Date, ginger, and malt loaf is a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of dates, ginger, and malt gives the loaf a unique and flavorful taste. This loaf is also a good source of fiber, potassium, and iron.
